It is also important to restrict intake of simple carbohydrates and sugars to minimise the sudden increase in blood sugar levels. This restriction includes sugar, honey, jaggery, corn syrup, fructose (fruit sugar), polished rice, corn flour, refined flour (maida) etc. White bread, cakes, cookies, pizzas, burgers, wraps etc. prepared from refined wheat flour and sweetened beverages also come under the umbrella of simple carbohydrates. Caffiene and alcohol must be avoided as it may worsen the symptoms of hypoglycaemia. Regular exercise and stress management through meditation and yoga can also help keep sugars in balance. If you think, eating more or eating high carbohydrate foods will fix your low energy levels, think again!
