Blood Sugar Imbalance
Occurs when too much glucose (hyperglycaemia) or too little glucose (hypoglycaemia) is habitually circulating in the blood
HYPOGLYCEMIA
Abnormally low levels of glucose in the blood. Can be due to over-secretion of insulin by the pancreas.
Symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, light-headedness, headaches, irritability, fainting spells, depression, anxiety, sweet cravings, confusion, night sweats, weakness in legs, swollen feet, constant hunger, eye pain.
- Food intolerances can often be linked to Hypoglycaemia. The Food Sensitivity Screening will help to identify any foods that may be causing a reaction.
- A Vitamin and Mineral screening will identify any deficiencies in the body. An incorrect balance of minerals can lead to fatigue and poor absorption of foods.
- Hormone imbalances with the pancreas, glucagon and insulin can be identified and corrected with the correct herbal and nutritional supplements.ø
- The above Test assists in the development of an individual programme to help to balance blood sugar in the case of Syndrome X and other metabolic disturbances such as Hypoglycaemia.
