Hi Tig:
Nice to meet you and all the other Beiners out there!

Wanda, I still have really shaky episodes sometimes late afternoon/early evening and have always suspected hypoglecemia. My doctor does not seem to get too worked up about it when I mention symptoms to her. I think I am insulin sensitive (testing showed OK)/adrenal gland burnout. I was really intrigued by your comment regarding how hypoglecemia is related to adrenal glands. I would love to get more info from you about this matter! I have not had comprehensive adrenal gland testing although my morning cortisol was WNL. I am attempting to finally get more sleep (~6-7 hrs) and know this WOE is really helping. Any info you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

OK, this book addiction of mine is getting out of control b/c I can hardly remember where I've read things anymore.  I'm pretty certain that Dr. S. talks about this in SPII, but I'll have to find the time to go back through it and find it for you.
I just finished reading a book about leptins which is a newly discovered (1994) major hormone that actually regulates the 3 major hormones that Dr. S. talks about so it discusses cortisol, adrenaline and insulin. I might have read it in there too.
Here's some other stuff I found on the internet for you until I can look up Dr. S's stuff. It's all basically about these major hormones being in balance and when one of them is out of balance (either too high or too low), blood sugars can become unstable.

Enjoy! Tell me what you think. I'll get back to you after I go through the highlighted parts of my book that I can reference. |
