I have severe reactive hypoglycemia and fish oil causes a big drop in blood Sugar with me. After finding this, I did some research and one source that I found said that a rare adverse reaction to fish oil may be hypoglycemia in some people. Of course, I can't find the source now.
I'm not sure if it's factual or not but it would make sense. Fish oil amd omega's are on every list of recommended supplements for hypo so it has to be an oddity that it would drop blood sugar.

I'm not sure if that is what's happening or not. I've never had a problem eating fish before but I don't really have it too often. It could be some additive in the pill.
I am too afraid to try flax oil or omega supplements now.

Hi,
I've been having flare-ups of my hypoglycemia, and I'm wondering if it is the cod liver oil supplements I began taking a few months ago. I too thought fish oil would be good for hypogly. but I did read on Dr. Lam that it might be the gel caps that are the problem. They are made of a bovine substance that can worsen some conditions. I do take five huge gel caps a day, so I'm going to stop and take the oil straight. I've also taken EPO supps daily for years. Never had a problem with those. I would highly suggest EPO over flax as I read somewhere that flax can have adverse effects.
