Hypoglycaemia is the medical term for low blood sugar. The symptoms of low blood sugar are listed below.
Problems and Symptoms Caused by Low Blood Sugar
The brain’s main source of energy is glucose. Therefore in hypoglycaemia where the levels of glucose are too low, the brain is not supplied with enough energy and as a result you feel chronically tired and exhausted. You also have foggy thinking and difficulty concentrating. Low blood sugar can cause other more serious problems such as seizures.
Hypoglycaemia is most commonly a complication of the medication taken by diabetics (especially injected insulin) when:
- The dose was too high.
- The medicine is taken at the incorrect time
- Not eating enough.
- During strenuous exercise.
- It can also be a consequence of alcohol abuse.
Apart from the side effect of medication taken by diabetics, low blood sugar can be a result of fear, anxiety and stress in a person’s thought life. I recommend that you read the chapter on page 180 to gain a background understanding of how long term fear, anxiety and stress affects your body.
The fear in hypoglycaemia often involves perfectionism and drivenness to perform where the person tries to earn love and acceptance through their achievement. Fear comes in because there is no allowance for weakness or failure. When there is a weakness – and there is – the person goes into guilt and condemnation. This brings in an additional component which is a low self-esteem, self-hatred, self disapproval, self and/or rejection.
In order to be healed of hypoglycaemia, you need to deal with the toxic mindsets causing it. Your identity and sense of self worth should come from who you are in Christ, not what you do. The following two chapters will help you:
- “Who You Are In Christ” on page 498.
- “Dealing With Fear, Anxiety and Stress” on page 523.
Finally pray this with me: “I release myself from performance, perfectionism and meeting the expectations of others. I take authority over the spirit of fear and command you to be gone in Jesus’ Name! In the Name of Jesus I release myself from the fear of failure that drives me to do everything right and which tells me that who I am is what I do. I determine in my heart this day to make an allowance for weakness and mistakes for it written that His strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12 v 9) and “Though the righteous shall fall seven times, the Lord will lift them up!” (Proverbs 24 v 16). I release myself from the fear of man and what others think of me. I forgive myself and I release myself from guilt. I take authority over the unloving accusing spirit that accuses me to myself – you are a lying spirit and I break your power in the Name of Jesus and command you to be gone. Father this day I choose to love myself for who I am in Christ and not because of what I do. I command the blood glucose levels to normalize in Jesus’ Name.”
