Product Description
FOR THOSE WHO SEARCH The program outlined in The Low Blood Sugar Handbook is for you. It is an optimum lifestyle not only for functional hypoglycemics (low blood sugar sufferers), but also for those suffering from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and everyone else who desires a healthy and productive life. Women who suffer from PMS often have low blood sugar. Once the blood sugar is stabilized, the PMS can be dealt with more effectively. This book is written by low blood sugar sufferers rather than by a medical person since only sufferers have the insight into dealing with the everyday situations of low blood sugar. After working with hundreds of hypoglycemics, Edward and Patricia Krimmel have articulated the things that only sufferers can know. They give the clear, practical and complete advice you need for understanding and dealing with the everyday nitty- gritty of low blood sugar. The chapters of the book deal with such practical matters as being able to identify if you have low blood sugar, what it is, how serious it is and what to do if you have the condition. The four dimensions of the KRIMMEL PROGRAM are: 1. Food ethic 2. Exercise 3. Fun & laughter 4. Sleep, rest & relaxation A fifth dimension is found in chapters 5, 6, 8, and 9. The information is unique to this handbook. Only through the application of the fifth dimension, can the low blood sugar sufferer get total value from the other 4 dimensions. Low blood sugar is a personal affair. Only through personal initiative can it be controlled. There is no medication or "cure all" for it. Only through the proper program and understanding your body chemistry can this condition be controlled. If you're willing to spend enough time And put out enough effort You can solve every problem

 Low Blood Sugar book review March 3, 2008

This is a great book. We have implememted it into our dental practice as a way to inform patients of how to take care of themselves...
Amazing... but not complete February 28, 2008

this is an amazing book that has turned my life around. It helped me realize, and convince my doctor to let me take a Glucose Tolerance Test to start figuring out what has been messing up my system for so long!
I have been heavily researching all things about blood sugar and metabolism for nearly a year now. If you want a more complete and detailed story on hypoglycemia, check out "Hypoglycemia the Classic Healthcare Handbook" by Jeraldine Saunders and Dr. Harvey M. Ross. It is very easy to read, user friendly, and has recipes in the back. It also is written a bit better and feels more professional. The recipes that go along with this book, the "Low Blood Sugar Handbook" are in a 2nd separate book and in my opinion are outdated and not appropriate for someone with severe hypoglycemia. Likewise, many of the stories and the information in this book are not very up to date either, but sufficient enough to still be applicable.
If you have hypoglycemia, you are going to have to learn how to cook nearly everything you eat. My favorite cookbook is most definitely "500 low-carb recipes" by Dana Carpender. I use it just as often, and in conjunction with my all-purpose, all-American Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Its takes a lot of experimentation and patience to find out what will work for you! Good luck!

I gave this book three stars, because it has some good things, but it also lacks some things.
I will say that if you have low blood sugar problems and didn't recognize your symptoms, or understand why you might be acting in a certain way, it will really help you figure some things out. It also helped me to find my clue-ins to when my blood sugar is low... for one thing, I yawn. After all these years of friends asking me, "Are we boring you?" I now know to go get a snack. And I had never thought to have a snack right upon rising... that was actual gold for me.
So, I think it's a book worth buying, but as far as the actual diet, a much better resource is "The New Glucose Revolution... the authoritative Guide to the Glycemic Index" This book will give you better information about how to find the best foods for you. For instance, while the "Handbook" suggests you should rarely eat lentils (Wha? I love lentils, and they're healthy!), the GI book is scientifically backed and shows that they have a low GI, and are actually quite a good thing.
If you need a book to commiserate/explain your symptoms, buy this book, it's a good start. If you just need good diet information, check into the Glucose Revolution series.
How can anyone follow this diet? October 12, 2007

This book had some good information, though I think some of it is out of date. It does not use the Glycemic Index concept, which I like because it is research-based. But my main complaint about the book is how restrictive the diet is, and how insistent the authors are that this diet must be strictly followed.
Failure isn't helpful to me at this point on my LBS journey. I was much more encouraged by Anita Flegg's book (Hypoglycemia: The Other Sugar Disease), where she says, "Don't feel you have to do it all at once."
Are people really able to follow this diet, especially after being addicted to sugar for most of their lives? Maybe I'm just a wimp, but I can't do it.
