Best Liquid Food for Hypoglycaemia

[celticlady]

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a liquid food full of all vital goodies as finding it difficult to eat solids with nausea. Can it be hypoglycaemia due to Thyroid issue? Many thanks.

I use a plant based shake that has protein in it and 25 carbs. when I get lower numbers at night while sleeping as a quick snack to bring the numbers up, again.

I hope this helps.

You're welcome. The plant based shake is in a box and can be either vanilla or chocolate flavored that can be poured into a cup.

Thank you fatbuddy. I'm not diabetic but due to thyroid probs I get hypoglycemia if I don't eat within a certain time. I have a virus and have nausea so struggle to eat solids. I think veggie smoothies is the way forward. I'm in UK so will research here.

It's a drink that's in a box and has both powder and liquid together to be shaken up.

Thanks again for taking the time to detail this. I'll give this a go soon.

I always have a banana handy in the car/House and sometimes glucose tablet. Yes thyroid problems often lead to diabetes . Hopefully a way off yet.

For raising blood sugar during the day, I use pineapple juice that comes in a 6 oz. can.

I bring different types of drinks with me if I go outside of the house for a fast blood sugar raise.

Just wondered how long after a quick sugar raise should I be having a substantial meal. Still no appetite but get the shakes if don't eat... currently eating very little maybe just inside 4 .2 glucose level. After half peanut butter sandwich and half banana shot up to 8 ... sometimes 7 after couple hours. Any comments welcome I'm not diabetic but currently got possible post COVID palpitations and light headed with no appetite. Have hypothyroidism so can lead to pre diabetes. Many thanks to all who have taken time to answer my questions.
