Hi. Sorry to keep asking questions, but I'm really trying to understand some stuff.
When my blood sugar goes below about 5.0, it naturally begins to rise without food. As I understand it, this is a natural function of my body. When the body produces its own glucose it releases stress hormones. This is why I am getting depression and anxiety attacks when my BS is perceived to be low by my body.
It is usually worse when I wake up. Obviously night time is the longest that I go without food, and I wake up sweating and nervous. I am trying to eat small meals of complex carbs on good fats every 4 hours or so, but my body still keeps trying to raise my blood sugar, leading to anxiety attacks.
Am I getting this right? How long will it be until I adjust to this lower calorie way of eating?
Any help greatly appreciated.
