Article: Organic hypoglycemia is caused by medical conditions such as liver or kidney disease, certain tumors, or hormone deficiencies; addressing the underlying cause is the treatment.  Hypoglycemia also can be caused by some medicines, especially ones used to treat diabetes.  Do not change your diet before a trained medical professional rules out other causes and diagnoses you with reactive hypoglycemia. Your new diet should meet the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) in terms of the calories, proteins, minerals, and vitamins needed for a healthy adult.  A dietitian can guide you as you add and remove foods from your diet.  They will assist you with planning the content of your meals and snacks. Let others know about your diagnosis.  Everyone can look out for symptoms like anxiety, irritability, hunger, sweating, shakiness, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, tingling around the mouth, dizziness, and hot flashes.  Break your diet and eat sugary foods.  The goal is to get your blood glucose back to a normal range as soon as possible  Let friends, family, and co-workers assist you with getting medical attention if you should develop symptoms of worsening hypoglycemia such as confusion, abnormal behavior, blurry vision, seizures, and a loss of consciousness.  Let them know you may slur your words and make clumsy movements similar to an intoxicated person.  You can become symptomatic for two reasons.  Your body inappropriately begins the process of decreasing your blood glucose to unusually low levels after digesting food.  In response to this stress, your body releases a rush of adrenaline, causing a fight-or-flight response.  In addition, your body is being deprived of its major source of energy, glucose.  The brain is very sensitive to this lack.  You may experience an inability to perform normal tasks, changes in your mental status (how you think), or changes in your level of consciousness (how awake you are).

What is a summary?
See a doctor to rule out other causes of hypoglycemia. Seek the advice of a registered dietitian. Monitor yourself for the symptoms of hypoglycemia.
