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.
