I am suffering from reactive hypoglycemia, and the worst part is that the sugar-free or minimizing Sugar intake didn't work for me.
The best thing I do is to drink about a 125ml of a sugary drink, my blood Sugar will then go up to 150mg/dl and then drops about 30 to 45 minutes later, I start eating when it reaches back to 115mg/dl or 110mg/dl.
Someone suggested to me to take chromium supplement, but I am hesitant because some people say that it made their symptoms much worse and their blood glucose dropped lower than before.
I wish that those who are taking chromium for chronic hypoglycemia or reactive hypoglycemia share the results that they got from it in this thread. Did your symptoms improve for a while and then worsen again?
Thanks to all

This is a reply to # 2,196,946I had TERRIBLE hypoclycemia... off the charts.
I *believe* I took supplements that contained chromimum at that time. (IT's hard to remember every pill or mix.) I cannot say if it helped or hurt. I felt so bad when I was hypoglycemic it is hard to say what was doing what.
After months of extremely disciplined, careful eating (not just sugar-free... but minimizing GRAINS, FLOUR, STARCHES and HIGH-FRUCTOSE FRUITS which are more hypoglycemic reactive than white Sugar in many cases - and balancing any that you do consume with plenty of fats or oil) - my metabolism healed and the awful hypoglycemic symptoms went away. My mood, cravings, sleep, etc. became regulated and semi-normal.
Almost 3 years into my healing, I went on a paleo-type diet called the Primal Blueprint. I eliminated all grains and Sugar completely (even in cooking sauces, small amounts). Soon after going Primal... my insulin resistance, hunger levels, sleep, thyroid function shot up to an even more improved level.
