Hypoglycemia literally means low blood sugar. It occurs when the level of blood sugar in the body is too low to adequately fuel the body. Reactive hypoglycemia is hypoglycemia that occurs in response to eating certain types of food. When there is not enough glucose in the blood for the body to function properly or when the descent of blood sugar occurs too quickly, multiple symptoms can occur. The symptoms can be mild, moderate, or severe. You might think if one is experiencing low blood sugar; the answer would be to just eat more sugar. But, for people with reactive hypoglycemia, that only makes symptoms worse. Blood sugar conditions have been on the rise not only in the United States, but worldwide. Conditions such as Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, Impaired Glucose Tolerance, Syndrome X, and Reactive Hypoglycemia are becoming more prevalent. This is the story of my life with reactive hypoglycemia. This book will take you on my journey of how I went from a person who ate any and everything, to someone who achieved better health by taking control over my diet. If you suffer from this condition or know someone who does, this book will provide insight into how to manage this condition. While there is not "cure" for reactive hypoglycemia, it can be managed so that you live a normal life. I hope this book is an inspiration and that it shows you that with discipline and proper food selection, you can live a normal and productive life with reactive hypoglycemia.

Following gastric bypass surgery, some patients experience symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia 2 to 4 hours postprandial. When these patients are advised to eat only 3 times per day, they struggle to avoid eating more frequently to alleviate symptoms. The extra calories obtained from snacks between meals make weight loss more challenging. The purpose of this study was twofold. First, it sought to identify eating behaviors that precede hypoglycemic symptoms among gastric bypass patients. Second, an educational intervention was developed for these patients based on eating behaviors identified. The objective of the intervention was to reduce the symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia in gastric bypass patient through dietary changes. A convenience sample of 4 gastric bypass patients participated in the study. Subjects recorded their food intake and hypoglycemic symptoms for 3 days. Food and symptom records were analyzed to determine eating behaviors that preceded symptoms. A nutrition education intervention was created and used to educate the subjects on eating behaviors to prevent reactive hypoglycemia. After receiving education, subjects recorded their food intake and hypoglycemic symptoms again for 3 days. These food and symptom records were compared to the initial food and symptom records. Subjects reported reactive hypoglycemic symptoms an average of 4.5 times during the 3 days prior to education. Forty-four percent of symptoms occurred after a meal was eaten following an overnight fast or a skipped meal. Sixty-seven percent occurred after high carbohydrate meals. Sixty-seven percent occurred after meals low in dietary fiber. After nutrition education, the mean number of reported hypoglycemic events during 3 days decreased to 2.7. The severity of symptoms did not notably change. The data suggest that symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia may be associated with certain eating behaviors, including the failure to eat small, frequent meals and the consumption of meals high in carbohydrate and meals low in dietary fiber. Bariatric patients who experience reactive hypoglycemia may not be appropriate for the guideline of eating only three meals per day. They many benefit from education regarding the eating behaviors to prevent symptoms.

As the number of patients with diabetes increases annually, it is not surprising that the number of patients with diabetes who are admitted to the hospital also increases. Once in the hospital, patients with diabetes or hyperglycemia may be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, require urgent or elective surgery, enteral or parenteral nutrition, intravenous insulin infusion, or therapies that significantly impact glycemic control (e.g., steroids). Because many clinical outcomes are influenced by the degree of glycemic control, knowledge of the best practices in inpatient diabetes management is extremely important. The field of inpatient management of diabetes and hyperglycemia has grown substantially in the last several years. This body of knowledge is summarized in this book, so it can reach the audience of hospitalists, endocrinologists, nurses and other team members who take care of hospitalized patients with diabetes and hyperglycemia.
