If you want to try the Cleanse, it's probably going to be okay if you make sure to drink plenty of the lemonade. If you could get your doctor to supervise you, that would be even better, but I know how doctors are. :/

Once I got in the habit of drinking one glass every hour, whether I wanted it or not, I had no trouble with hypoglycemia symptoms.

I also had to adjust the amount of maple syrup --- I used slightly less than 2 tablespoons per drink; more like 1 1/2 tablespoons, and did much better. Which seems counter-intuitive, but the higher amount of syrup made my blood sugar harder to control.

If you have, or can get, a blood glucose monitor, that's a great way to keep track of how the drink is affecting your blood sugar levels, and it can help you monitor yourself. I used mine once an hour for the first five days of my second cleanse, until I learned exactly what the symptoms of "I need to drink some more lemonade" felt like.

My hypoglycemia was much easier to control after my cleanses than before. I can even indulge in the occasional sugary treat without adverse effects, now!

I agree completely with Editormum. As long as I drink the lemonade each hour then I am OK. If I get to two hours then I am feeling pretty ill. Only one morning have I awoke to feeling dizzy. Then I drank a lemonade and was fine.

One thing to keep in mind is that you can give it a try and then if it doesn't work with your hypo. you can go off of the fast. But, you won't know if it will work unless you try.

I did have some issues on it, but not like I thought. and I too thought it helped regulate it.
BUT here's what I did on the third cleanse that helped me get through the day:
I drank 1 tablespoon of mollassis in a large cup of water in the late afternoon. not only did it make me feel full, it calmed me down.
I noticed I would start feeling wacky in the late afternoon and really hungry.
so I started doing this and it helped. 
Going on walkes and getting fresh air is really important.
drinking your lemonade slowly and consistenly helps.

I have much less ups and downs than I do when I am eating normally.
Just as with regular eating, just make sure that you start to drink a lemonade as soon as you start to feel hungry or low on blood sugar. Don't wait too long. Also I found that sipping slowly throughout the day was helpful, as opposed to downing a full glass at once.
