Hypoglycemia: Win the Sugar Battle

Sugar is hidden in virtually every food imaginable: Catsup, soups, peanut butter, prepared frozen meals, salad dressings, etc. When the body is faced with too much sugar, refined or otherwise, the pancreas kicks in to release insulin, the hormone responsible for sugar stabilization.

For most people, the pancreas is able to regulate the sugar levels, even the occasional sugar overdose, with ease. But for the millions of people who suffer from Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the pancreas overreacts when any amount of sugar enters the bloodstream, pumping far too much insulin into the system, thus causing the blood sugar levels to plummet.

The symptoms can vary depending on how low the blood sugar level drops. There are 3 degrees of hypoglycemia.

• Mild can cause nausea, a jittery or nervous feeling, cold and clammy skin, sweating, hunger, and a rapid heartbeat.

• Moderate often makes you feel irritable, anxious, or confused. You may suffer from fatigue, headaches, and depression. Or you may have blurred vision, feel unsteady, and have difficulty walking.

• Severe can lead to loss of consciousness, seizures, and coma — and it may even be fatal.

Once the body is overwhelmed with an excess of insulin, the other systems step in to regulate the problem. The adrenal glands release anti-stress hormones that in turn release the sugar stored in the liver for emergencies. The result? Everything gets worn out — the pancreas, the adrenal glands, and the liver.

Chromium Picolinate is a natural way to prevent and deal with hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. But, it is not a cure since the pill must be taken every day that you do not follow a strict diet.

Completely avoiding sugars is nearly impossible. Our goal is to eliminate the body's inappropriate response to the sugar.

The body looks at the sugar as a bad substance, an allergen, and tries to do whatever it takes to get rid of it. The pancreas kicks in to eliminate any trace of the sugar. This is when sugar levels plummet and you have a negative response. Your response will not change until the allergen is neutralized. Only then can the body recognize and deal with the sugar in the way it was intended. Besides allergy treatments , we recommend a change in diet to create a balance in the body.
