Hypoglycemia—two simple definitions–not so simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ONE—It’s just the opposite of diabetes, too much insulin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TWO—Trigger-happy pancreas reacts to sugar (or perceived sugar) and dumps overdose of insulin immediately, and doesn’t stop when sugar level drops too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent my first 27 years devastated, before discovering answers with hypoglycemia.
In fact, at the beginning of summer in 1968 before college, I could not function at all with the farmwork, which I always looked forward to.
Scott and White Hospital in Temple tested everything they could, everything !
They found nothing, and told Daddy and me that maybe someday they would find a chemical to give answers and help.
Indeed, a true conclusion—the chemical was sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The medical community was dealing with diabetes for many decades, but they had no clue about low blood sugar, hypoglycemia.
Thank God for somebody nearly a decade later, who could help me and explain what was happening, and what had been ravaging my entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For starters, the six-hour glucose tolerance test is key for getting numerical facts to verify hypoglycemia, but very few understand how important it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
