Strenuous exercise will indeed help reduce the withdrawal symptoms in cases of addiction and from sugar. But the real treatment for hypoglycemia is the adoption of the
Hypoglycemic Diet.

What about meditation or relaxation exercises to induce the relaxation response to counter stress hormones?

These are good management techniques, but if anxiety is caused by hypoglycemia (insulin resistance) there is only one way of dealing with this and this is treating hypoglycemia with the adoption of the hypoglycemic diet.
We should not confuse "management techniques" with treatment. Management techniques aim at reducing symptoms, without necessarily "curing" the cause. For instance taking anti-depressant medication is a good "management technique" for reducing symptoms, but drugs do nothing to address the underlying biochemical causes of depression. Please search or web site for "management technique". For instance in anxiety attacks we can reduce the symptoms temporarily by "breathing exercises", but these do not "cure" anxiety attacks.
The same applies when using specific supplements and remedies, which may not target the real causes of the symptoms.
