What Could be Causing Hypoglycemia?

What Causes Hypoglycemia?

In order to deal properly with hypoglycemia we need to understand and — if possible — remove the underlying causes and risk factors. We need to ask: "What else is going on inside the body that might allow hypoglycemia to develop?"

Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind hypoglycemia consists of three steps:

Step 1: List the Possible Causative Factors

Identify all disease conditions, lifestyle choices and environmental risk factors that can lead to hypoglycemia. Here are six possibilities:

Hypothyroidism
Mercury Toxicity
Metal Toxicity
Copper Toxicity
Vasectomy Side-Effects
Adrenal Fatigue

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

Identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

poor recovery from exertion

history of postpartum depression

slow reaction time

major joint pain/swelling/stiffness

brittle fingernails

being easily excitable

bulging eyes

metallic taste in mouth

premenstrual abdominal bloating

tender calf muscles

difficulty losing weight

moving white lines across nails

... and more than 140 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of hypoglycemia:

Cause	Probability	Status
Vasectomy Side-Effects	91%	Confirm
Metal Toxicity	63%	Possible
Mercury Toxicity	23%	Unlikely
Adrenal Fatigue	5%	Ruled out
Copper Toxicity	3%	Ruled out
Hypothyroidism	1%	Ruled out

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Glandular Symptoms section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about hypoglycemia:

Do you suffer from Hypoglycemia (abnormally low blood glucose level)?

Possible responses:

→ Never had it / don't know
→ Probably had it/minor episode(s) now resolved
→ Major episode(s) now resolved
→ Current minor problem
→ Current significant problem

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either history of hypoglycemia or hypoglycemia, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Copper Toxicity

Heavy Metal Toxicity

Heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead and thallium poison the glucose metabolizing catalysts, thus reducing the flow of energy throughout the body. It is interesting to note that the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning are similar to symptoms associated with hypoglycemia i.e. hyperactivity, mood swings, manic depressive behavior, poor concentration and impulsive and unpredictable behavior.

Hypothyroidism

Patients suffering with Wilson's Syndrome, a form of hypothyroidism, occasionally experience intense and previously unfamiliar cravings for sweets. The low body temperature patterns may affect the function of enzymes involved in glucose metabolism that could result in lower blood sugar levels which might contribute to sweet cravings.

Mercury Toxicity (Amalgam Illness)

Low Adrenal Function / Adrenal Insufficiency
