Re: Dr Sam- Why do i go dizzy?

The problem with this suggestion is that if the hypoglycemia is due to
hyperinsulinemia, then the symptoms end up getting worse. The sudden influx
of simple carbs produces a strong insulin release, which then drains blood
sugar more. I know this from personal experience. Before I knew what was
going on with me, my husband and I realized that if I ate some crackers I
stopped being as irritable and tired, and felt a little better. However, I had
a terrible rebound off it, with my symptoms getting worse than they were before.
Now, I eat a piece of cheese, or something else protein-based/low-carb, and
I'm fine.
