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:
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 |
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 |
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.
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.
