No you don’t. Those are indeed some symptoms of true hypoglycemia, but what you’re suffering from isn’t very likely to be low blood sugar, it is something else, and it’s most certainly real and not hypochondria like many doctors might lead you to believe.
You also don’t need to be eating a high-protein, low-carb diet to prevent the symptoms you may get after eating lots of fast-absorbing carbs or when you’ve gone too long without food. In fact, eating a diet like that is likely to make the root cause worse over time, even if it gives you relief in the short-term.
In "Hypoglycemia: What it Is, What it Isn’t, and How to Fix the Root Problem," bestselling author Matt Stone discusses what’s really going on. The truth may surprise you, and you may have to stop using the H word to explain your symptoms.
Stone also lays out many effective solutions that have helped thousands worldwide to overcome the obnoxious and at times debilitating symptoms that tend to strike most often mid-morning and in the middle of the night as if a timer is set to it.
If you want a true, genuine way to resolve the tendency to “crash” after meals and/or in the middle of the night, no book in print will give you a better set of tools to go about doing just that—all for less than the price of a low-glycemic protein bar.
Hypoglycemia: What It Is, What It Isn't, and How to Fix the Root Problem Reviews

Technically that "shakey" weak feeling certain people get if they skip a meal isn't hypoglycemia. It's probably more of an adrenaline surge, in response to an acutely stressful event. Ironically, that surge from your adrenals usually *raises* blood sugar above average. So if you want to call it something, then don't call it hypoglycemia, because that's just inaccurate. Probably best to call it an "adrenergic surge".
Many of the causes and symptoms of adrenergic surges overlaps with hyponatremia--low salt levels. Making sure you get enough salt, and not too much water, can be surprisingly helpful. There are plenty of other tips and strategies in this book, not only to treat the problem, but hopefully to cure it ultimately.
If you experience those "shakey" weak feelings, then you should read this book. That's definitely the focus of this book. But if those symptoms DON'T describe you, and you're actually just interested in healthy living overall (that's me personally), then I'd recommend Matt Stone's book "Eat for Heat" instead. -
This is nice little book which is helpful for people wanting to understand why they get the shakes, especially if it's to with eating.
I found for me as my troubles stem from adrenaline issues I didn't find it all that helpful but if written in a nicely conversational way for people that are wanting to figure out whats happening in their bodies.
