Whats the difference between a strict and liberal diet for Hypoglycemia (HG)?
For controlling HG, either a strict or liberal diet will do. Liberal diets are based based on the glycemic index of foods and will not allow your sugar to jump up and fall down. The liberal diets will keep your weight stable (maintain status quo) and a stricter diet is for weight loss. It will control your low blood sugar (and high blood sugar) and you will also lose weight. Generally speaking, most people need to stay under about 30 grams of carbs to lose weight. Some even lower. Quite a lot of people follow a Low GI diet for Insulin Resistance and others a No Amylose diet.
