Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar) – Don’t Make This Common Mistake – Dr.Berg

Download Keto Essentials

In this video, Dr. Berg talks about hypoglycemia and if you should increase or decrease your carbs. In hypoglycemia, it is the high insulin that is lowering the blood sugar. Adding more carbs and protein will increase insulin – but adding more fat isn’t.

There is no problem consuming protein if you are on a low-carb diet because when you increase protein with carbs, you double the insulin response.

Symptoms of Hypoglycemia:
1. Shaky
2. Nervous
3. Dizzy
4. Hungry
5. Craving
6. Irritable

I like to think that getting energy from carbs is like teaching the body to live "paycheck to paycheck" (and snacks are like getting a payday loan with high interest) while higher fats and some proteins is like teaching the body to invest wisely for the future.

I’ve been diagnosed with hypoglycemic when I was a teenager and all the doctors always told me to eat every three hours. I was fat and I couldn’t diet at all because I was always starving. I could never had enough food, I was always hungry for more. I tried different diets then my boyfriend started watching some keto content online and I repeated to him what I had been told all my life “it’s not for me, I’m hypoglycemic, I have to eat every three hours” but it got me thinking and I started to look for more content on this thing called keto, cause it seemed to make sense specially in my case. Now, I’ve been keto (or sometimes just low carb, I admit lol) for a year now and ad no more hypoglycemic crises after quitting sugar, flours and starches. Even when I do overeat carbs, I do it by eating to much vegetables. I’m really glad I came across this type of content. Thank you!

I've been hypoglycemic since I was a young child. Started keto July 2018 and I no longer have any symptoms that plagues me for years! I even do one meal a day with no issues! Thank you Dr. Berg for all your helpful videos. I've been following you since the beginning of my keto journey.

when my husband and I switched to a ketogenic diet we had no ups and downs with our blood sugars. Within two weeks they were completely stable. Yesss!💪

He didn't mention nausea as a symptom of hypoglycemia: I get extremely nauseous when my bloodsugar crashes (mostly in the morning). It can be mistaken for a symptom of pregnancy, but I ve been experiencing this for years almost every morning from when I was 13.

Oh my this is so true. I went from eating lots of carbs to lower carbs and I have not had the Hypoglycemia symptoms anymore. Plus I've lost 24 lbs in the process in the last 3 months. Thank you Dr Berg for the informative video.

Thank You, this works!
A friend of mine had low glucose levels, was always irritated at work, her feet and hands itchy... doctors wanted her to see a psychotherapist as she was crying every day.... she asked me - who learned from You, and she went on a healthy ketosis IF and after 4 weeks no more itching, nor irritation... she could not believe it.

[duneece]

This is SO true!!! Healthy Keto has been the very best program for me being hypoglycemic all of my life.

Hi dr. Berg, I love your videos.. I was on 6 meals plan for 10 years and it made things get worse and worse that was no end to it. Now I'm on keto for almost a month and I'm already feeling better.. thank you for saving my life.. keep on going we're all supporting your work, I'm at least spreading the word to hundreds

First time in my life I had to deal with this, my doctor made me give up coffee and fruit and sugar and a lot of carb intake in a meal. I was to eat a high protein diet. The first 2 weeks I thought I would die from the withdrawal of caffiene but once I got through that I have never felt better in my life.

[VictoriaBlancaa]

Reactive hypoglycemic here….for 20 years my main diet instructed to me by diabetologist and nutritionist was high carbs, low protein and low fat ….all in 6 meals at day ..the result????
+40 lbs, pain inflammation and sickness…..thanks Dr Berg for teaching the truth💐❤

[schoolboy]

What about weightlifters? I feel hypoglycemic mostly during or after a workout, but sometimes it’s random.

[channingtaylor]

My sugar is 68 before eating I’ll be going to the docs soon and let u know what they say, I know dr. B is right. I will listen to him bc his content actually helps me. He actually cares about if he is actually benefiting people’s health and he is

[catherinebabisha]

I have had hypoglycemia for 30 years I woke up this morning very dizzy and I realized I drank my carrot juice at bedtime and ate fruit so I'm going to try the protein and fat breakfast and follow your directions thank you so much

[lesbirch]

As a very new pre type 2 I am finding your videos extremely helpful ...many thanks !!!

[michellebishop]

Thank you Dr. Berg. I am still stuck up here on a mtn in the middle of winter.. Not Spring here, not yet. I love your videos because my Drs are all in Florida. You're saving my life again.

[jerrywiththeugh]

Could you explain what you just explained but with food/plates. Like actually, visually show us how we shouldn't eat (with food) and show us how much (food) and what food we should be eating. Could you show us how our plates shouldn't look. And show us how our plates should look. It would be very helpful to everyone.

Hello Dr. Eric,

We greatly appreciate your videos and the valuable knowledge you share. I have an important question regarding my 4-year-old son, who was born with hypoglycemia. Could you please provide advice on how to manage his condition? Specifically, is it safe to apply a keto diet for him at this age?

Your guidance would mean a lot to us. Thank you!

[bethaddis]

I had carbs yesterday. It was to be my carb/ hard work day. But my daughter had seizures so my day went to keeping her safe and alive. Now I’m dealing with blood sugar issues today. Ate a good keto breakfast feeling better but exhausted.

[robkellyclark]

This doctor is spot on and he’s doing a real service to people trying to get healthy. Thank you Dr. Berg!
