Expert Profile: Michele Damiano

Expertise: I can answer questions regarding hypoglycemic symptoms and how to prevent/treat them through various food and lifestyle measures. I can't diagnose anyone or provide information about how to regulate hypoglycemic episodes in diabetics using insulin or other medications.

Experience in the area
Please note that I am not a doctor, and you should seek the advice of a physician if you are suffering severe and/or frequent hypoglycemic episodes. I am a health and nutrition editor with 8 years experience working for national consumer magazines. During that time, I have worked on stories about diabetes and hypoglycemia/coping with blood sugar "dips" while dieting. I frequently consult with doctors, nutritionists, and other medical experts. I also have some personal experience with this topic, as I suffer from mild hypoglycemia and had a grandmother who was an insulin-dependent type 1 diabetic for many years.

Publications
Any advice that I provide as an expert for allexperts.com will be coming solely from me, and can not be endorsed by any current or former employers.

Education/Credentials
Cornell University

2008-10-23 low blood sugar episodes yet hi triglycerides?: Trigylcerides are a blood fat (lipid), kind of like cholesterol. So I don't think that having high trigylcerides would preclude you from having high blood sugar. However, a normal fasting blood sugar (glucose)...

2008-09-04 Any sure way to tell if the symptoms are actually hypoglycemia?: The only way to tell for sure is to see your doctor and undergo an oral glucose tolerance test. This involves having your blood drawn several times over a few hours while you drink a sugary liquid. But...

2008-08-08 Am I hypoglycemic?: I don't know too much about the effect of aspirin on blood sugar but I've heard that yes, it may reduce blood sugar levels. If you are taking daily aspirin to protect your heart, I assume you are taking...
