Does Treating Hypoglycemia Make Hypnotherapy More Effective?


Hypoglycemia is a concentration of low blood sugar. There are two types of hypoglycemia. The first occurs in anyone who eats an excessive amount of processed sugars. The second is a medical diagnosis that indicates a person has an unusual tendency for rapid blood sugar drops without provocation.

When sugar is taken into the body it floods the blood stream with glucose. This stimulates the pancreas to create more insulin. The insulin causes the cells to become more permeable to sugar. As a result, the sugar is taken into and out of the cells and out of the blood thereby lowering the blood sugar level. When too much insulin is released the blood sugar drops too far and a person begins to feel weak, shaky and anxious.

Hypoglycemia may mask, exaggerate or model other symptoms, particularly emotional reactions, and must be addressed first for subsequent therapies to be effective. Physiological symptoms may include faintness, dizziness, weakness, cravings for sweets, lack of hunger, lack of concentration, shakiness, nausea, emotional instability, mood swings or a general inability to function clearly.

Alternating blood sugar drops and adrenaline rushes can create an inordinate amount of physical fatigue and stress, including depression. This can influence the way the brain processes information, promoting irrationality, inferential suspicion, suggestibility, exaggerated mood swings, feelings of lack of control and interference with logical reasoning.

Treatment should include a change of diet to stabilize blood sugar drops, thereby reducing emotional stress, suggestibility and irrational behavior. Afterwards, the appropriate behavioral condition and therapeutic approach can be addressed.
