Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel diagnoses reactive hypoglycemia via glucose tolerance test with insulin levels or continuous glucose monitoring showing post-meal drops. Treatment focuses on dietary modification (low-glycemic, balanced macros, frequent small meals), chromium and other supplements for blood sugar stability, address insulin resistance, optimize adrenal function, and rule out rare causes like insulinoma. Recognizes reactive hypoglycemia often precursor to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Dietary modification (frequent small meals, low-glycemic), treat underlying cause if identified, rarely medications (acarbose to slow carb absorption), if post-bariatric surgery may need revision.
Often dismissed or misdiagnosed, inadequate testing (fasting glucose normal, need post-prandial testing), dietary advice often insufficient, doesn't use chromium and other blood sugar-stabilizing supplements, doesn't address early insulin resistance, inadequate use of continuous glucose monitoring (very helpful), doesn't recognize as potential precursor to diabetes.

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Low-glycemic diet avoiding refined carbs and sugars, always pair carbohydrates with protein and healthy fat (slows absorption), small frequent meals every 2-3 hours (5-6 meals/day), adequate protein at each meal, high fiber foods, avoid fruit juice and sweetened beverages, avoid eating carbs alone, complex carbohydrates only (avoid white bread, white rice, pastries), adequate healthy fats (stabilize blood sugar), some benefit from lower-carb diet, never skip meals.
Lifestyle Factors
Eat breakfast within 1 hour of waking (don't skip), carry protein snacks (nuts, cheese, jerky), avoid prolonged fasting, exercise after eating (not on empty stomach), stress management (stress hormones affect blood sugar), adequate sleep (poor sleep worsens blood sugar regulation), avoid alcohol on empty stomach, consider continuous glucose monitoring to identify patterns, address insulin resistance with weight loss and exercise if applicable.
