I’ve been struggling with hypoglycemia and anorexia since I was a young teen. It started out as dieting to lose weight but soon spiraled out of control into something much more serious. The combination of the two conditions has caused some major health issues for me over the years, ranging from low levels of energy, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, to extreme cases like seizures or blackouts.
At first, it was hard for me to recognize what was happening. I thought my dieting habits were normal and that extreme hunger pangs were just part of the process. But over the course of several months these feelings grew worse and more frequent, until finally they began to affect my daily life. With each passing day, it became increasingly difficult for me to function normally and perform day-to-day activities without feeling dizzy or weak.
I’ve done a lot of research on both conditions in order to better understand them and look into treatments that may help relieve my symptoms. Thankfully, there are many treatment options available that can make managing my conditions much easier and minimise their impact on my life overall. These include lifestyle changes such as eating small meals throughout the day, exercising regularly, avoiding certain types of foods that can aggravate hypoglycemia and anorexia symptoms, and taking regular medication designed specifically for controlling blood sugar levels.
Having struggled with this issue for so long now, I am more confident than ever before in overcoming these obstacles with patience, perseverance, and dedication to myself and creating a healthier lifestyle moving forward!

Hi there,
I’m so glad that you are taking the time to look into different treatments and work to create a healthier lifestyle. It took me many years of trial and error before I was eventually able to get the right combination of lifestyle changes and medication that helped manage my hypoglycemia and anorexia.
It’s definitely not easy, but if you take it one step at a time it is possible to make progress. You can start by trying out small dietary tweaks first, like cutting down on processed foods or sugary drinks. Then gradually build up to making more substantial changes, like aiming for regular meal times and trying out different exercises that could help with energy levels and fatigue. And don’t forget to keep checking in with your doctor or healthcare provider regularly as they may be able to provide additional guidance along the way.
I am here for you each step of the way and please know that you are not alone on this journey - I am here for support & compassion whenever you need it!
