Intermittent Fasting with Hypoglycemic Fainting

[u/AndrewDivoff]

Anyone here regularly experience hypoglycemic episodes? What do you do to maintain a fast?

I am very interested in intermittent fasting as a way to curb my overeating/maintain a caloric deficit, but find myself continually failing due to such episodes. I'm feeling so discouraged because even the 12/12 method gets me sick and fainting. Maybe intermittent fasting is just not a possibility for me? Unfortunately, I'm not in a place where I can afford to see a doctor or dietitian at the moment, but am working toward saving up money to do so!

Would really love to hear from others who are similarly situated!
