Exercise induced hypo-glycemia

BARETAP73 Posts: 14 Joined: 2006/03/28	2006/04/03, 08:23 AM Anyone have any experience with this? Just wondering... I have been dealing with this for about a year now and wanted to ask if anyone else had any tips on it. I'm currently eating a 1/2 protein bar before I workout and that seems to keep my blood sugar ok unless I do a really intensive work out....

My caloric intake is probably around 1900-2100 calories per day. I intentionally don't eat a lot of processed sugar, but I do include natural sugars in my diet such as rasins or honey. I'm kinda at a loss.....

Beware of foods that may contain alot of sugar..even your whole grain breads.. Afer many years of trial and error I have found a eating plan that allows me to control my hypo...I eat 6 small meals a day,with protein and carbs and no sugar..
