diet -- useful info concerning hypoglycemia

[pr40]

I haven't seen this kind of specific discussion of diet on this forum. I also find what is said here very useful and am posting it hoping you all might find it informative, too. the main topic is hypoglycemia and its influence on the brain and mood.

Interesting pr. My pandas child can have mood swings, and I have been wondering if it could be a possible blood sugar issue...Interesting

 

Thanks!

 

I do not know much about hyperglycemia. Does one have to remove all sugar?, or just balance it out a bit more with increased protein?

 

I am not sure either that one has to be full blown hyperglycemic to experience the mood swings/irritability; as we all know that many kids on our forum can react easily.

 

I am going to start adding more protein to breakfast as a start, see what happens.

 

The good news is that both kids are really in a great place, however a little tweaking never hurt anyone!

I feel like I've seen fewer of those crazy hypoglycemic mood swings in my PANDAS kid since we've been supplementing with Vitamin D3.

 

He tested low last winter; even just 1,000 IU a day has seemed to make a difference.
