can you be a vegetarian and be hypoglycemic?!

Yes. Hypoglycemia is a disorder in how your body processes sugar and its response to it in your bloodstream during the digestive process.

Staying away from simple carbs will help you, as will having protein with eat snack and / or meal, timing snacks and meals properly and choosing your foods wisely to help prevent sugar peaks, which usually lead to a hypoglycemic crash.

A registered dietitian can help you develop a healthy diet with both vegetarianism and hypoglycemia taken into consideration.

Yes, Many vegetarians replace meat with processed carbs (pasta). That's not a good thing if you're hypoglycemic. Also, depression is tied to low levels of vitamin B12 which is only available naturally in animal foods (meat, eggs, milk). If you do decide to give up meat, be sure to check your B12 levels.
