    Hi,
    I get low blood sugar very easily. Like if i don't eat something small every few hours i get lightheaded and faint if I'm in a hot space. I don't want to have to be always worried about running off to eat etc so I'm wondering what type of foods i should eat to keep me going properly? I don't think I've a bad diet, for a college student anyway, but i must be missing something?

    I'd say fruit and nuts?

    Avoid refined sugar (chocolate, sweets etc as much as possible), processed foods (junk, anything out of a packet) and coffee. Eat fruit and nuts regularly, eat some carbohydrates with every meal (even a small amount) but don't eat sliced pan bread. If you eat bread then have mccambridges or another type of brown bread. Don't let yourself get too hungry and make sure you eat every four hours even if its only an apple. Drink lots of water.

    I've the same problem and I've found that by following the above my blood sugar rarely dips and I seldom get that faint, icky feeling anymore.

    Refined sugar, processed foods and coffee seem to be my enemies!
