Healthy people are able to maintain normal blood sugar levels for long periods of time without eating. On the other hand, people who are prone to low blood sugar can get the following complaints of low blood sugar if they go too long without eating,

• irritability, or crankiness*
• headaches*
• fatigue, feeling faint*
• jitteriness or shakiness*

People with low blood sugar often find they

• need to eat frequent meals*
• crave sweets and/or alcohol almost constantly*
• get palpitations when they eat chocolate and/or sugar*

HypoglycemiCare often works quite fast. For mild complaints, people usually notice some effects within a few days, but most will notice sustained relief within 2 weeks. Once the complaints are gone, we recommend that patients continue the HG Care for one or two months before weaning off. Many patients will find that their complaints remain improved even after they've weaned off. If patients notice that they are not able to wean off the HG Care without their complaints returning, and their temperatures are low, they may be able to overcome their low blood sugar with the WT3 protocol.

HG Care is considered a tonic, which means that people can keep taking a small daily dose (e.g. a capsule a day) if they want, as a healthy habit. This is an especially good idea for people who have a family history of blood sugar disorders (HG Care may help nip blood sugar problems and serve as a preventative measure).*

How it Works
HG Care is aimed at providing support to all the different organs that affect blood sugar, including the adrenals, the liver, and the pancreas. It can be thought of as a "tune-up" for those organs involved in glucose metabolism. The ingredients are considered good for the body and there is nothing toxic in these capsules.*

Side Effects and Drug Interactions
None known.*

HG Care and Diet
Patients should eat diets that are higher in protein (such as meat, eggs, and fish) and lower in simple carbohydrates (decreasing items such as breads, crackers, potatoes, and sweets).*

Regular Dosage
1 capsule 2 or 3 times per day.*

Detailed Description
Brackets, [ ] indicate the names of researchers

HG Care holistically addresses all of the organs involved in blood sugar balance (including the adrenals, liver, and pancreas), but shifts the emphasis toward adrenal support. Devil's Club (Oplopanax horridum) is an adrenal tonic which has demonstrated a specific positive effect in achieving blood sugar balance [Drum]. Jambul (Syzygium cumini) has been traditionally used in India to control blood sugar levels. While largely used as an anti-spasmodic in the west, Wild Yam (Dioscorea villosa) is used in Chinese medicine to "brighten the eyes" and as a tonic. It also contains diosgenin, a precursor for cortisol, a key constituent in blood sugar balance [Buhner]. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) prolongs the half life of cortisol, thereby helping maintain consistency of blood glucose levels, and has repeatedly demonstrated anti-stress and fatigue properties [Buhner]. Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) has been in use in China for over 2000 years in the protocol of fatigue, weakness, depressed mood, forgetfulness, and insomnia. It is known in the west for its adrenal and liver tonic properties [Buhner]. Milk Thistle (silybum marianum) is well known as the western herb for liver support par excellence [Buhner].*

Actions
Blood Sugar Balancers*

Indications
Low blood sugar, Borderline High Blood Sugar/Insulin resistance*

Specific Indications
Irritable, headaches, fatigue if meals late or missed, the need to eat frequent meals, palpitations when eating sugar.*

Mechanism of action
Nurturing the organs of blood sugar, the pancreas, liver and mostly adrenal gland.*

Dosage
1-2 caps three times a day*

Combination with CardiaCare
Low blood sugar with low blood pressure: CardiaCare*

Combination with WT3 protocol
Typically complaints of low blood sugar improve after WT3 protocol due to the increase in thyroid metabolism. However, low adrenal function is still a contributing factor in most cases of low blood sugar. Taking the HG Care helps curb the continuous food cravings, and therefore aids also in weight loss. During compensation times of WT3 protocol, low blood sugar complaints can intensify, and supplementation with HG Care can decrease the intensity. Many people after taking HG Care for three months will notice continued complete resolution of complaints even after they stop taking it. For many people prone to longstanding low blood sugar, a maintenance dose might be recommended.*

Drug Interactions: The herbs used are blood sugar balancers, so the chance of becoming too low or too high is very unlikely.*

Predictive value: Low blood sugar is very well managed with herbal medicines. The need to eat frequently can often be reduced within a few days to a few weeks. Long tem use of product can result in people being complaint free. Some patients might need to take it as short as one month, or continue on it every day. These herbs can be taken long term, since they are tonics.*

Lab tests: Reactive low blood sugar does not always show up on lab tests except during the moment of complaints. Typically evaluation is based on complaints only.*

Side Benefits: Some patients have reported increased energy, increased body temperature, and improvements in regulating their menstrual cycles.*

Toxicity: None known*
