Snacks in reactive hypoglycemia;

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
The mre are no inhibited fruits in reactive hypoglycemia but it is very important to combine them with other foods so they are absorbed more slowly.
Here are some snacks example that can help you to create an idea about the food recommended in reactive hypoglycemia;

-Low fat cheese (less than 20% M.F.) on dark rye crisp bread
Pear
-Carrot and green pepper sticks
Plum
Low-fat milk or fortified soy beverage
-Hard-boiled egg with cucumber, celery and carrots sticks
-Hummus (chickpea and sesame seed spread)
Brown rice crackers
Cherry tomatoes
-Trail mix with nuts, raisins and shredded wheat
-Low sodium, low fat cottage cheese or unsweetened yogurt with fresh fruit
-Low fat cheese grated over whole grain nachos with bean, avocado and tomato salsa dips
-Peanut butter spread on cut-up banana

Of course in small proportions.

Best wishes,

Brief Answer:
About reactive hypoglycemia:

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Juices are not recommended, as they have lost the fibers of the fruits that make their absorption more longer. They are easily absorbed, raising immediately the blood sugar and thus predisposing for reactive hypoglycemia.
So you should know that the food (the vegetables, fruits, grains ect) should be raw, or untreated.
