Can vitamin c lower blood sugar too much?

Post Number:#1  Post by maryclaire » Thu Sep 21, 2017 12:56 pm

Once in a while I get very light headed all at once, can't walk a straight...I check my blood pressure and it's not low...I can go from feeling good in the morning to feeling awful in the afternoon but by that time I've taken a lot of supplements.

If I was taking too much magnesium, wouldn't I be able to tell by having too low a blood pressure?

I'm not a diabetic but if I don't eat regularly I do get hypoglycemia.

No diagnosis for hypoglycemia and no blood work. I just have gotten shaky if I skip a meal or get too hungry.

I think Owen doesn't need as much insulin when he has intravenous DMSO and I just was wondering if DMSO or supplements could bring down normal insulin levels to low insulin.

I don't have any other symptoms of diabetes.

Many, many moons ago I had similar symptoms and a doctor and I spoke for over an hour. The end results was his recommendation that I take chromium (to help sugar metabolism) which I did at that time and the problem went away.

Another idea as you imply is hyperinsulinemia... producing too much of your own insulin. Which is fine until your blood is drained of glucose. You say that you are not diabetic. Do you check your blood glucose? This is the direction I would go.. Find out what the glucose numbers are. May have to change the pattern of how you eat. Apparently, we were "designed" to eat several smaller more frequent meals throughout the day.

Otherwise, it does sound like it may be caused by one of your supplements, but since it is "once in a while" it is hard to subtract. Do you want to list your supplements? There may be something obvious in the list.

My fasting blood sugar is 94 and Medicare won't pay for an a1c unless the fasting blood sugar is suspect. I did order the chromium because I've had self-diagnosed hypoglycemia for years. I remember telling my doctor about the lightheaded and shaky feeling and he said to eat peanuts with my pepsi :D I did drop that habit. :|

I'll have to spend some time on my supplement list when I have an afternoon off. Thanks everyone!

I try but with my thyroid/adrenal problems I've had in the last year and then I had that darn steroid shot in my finger. I have gained a little weight..around 5-8 pounds in the last year...my bodyfat is 27% right now but I think I could get it down to 26% without alot of effort.

I did walk an hour yesterday and try to get at least 30 minutes a day...and some floor exercises.
