Look it up at http://en.wikiipedia.orok/wiki/Hypoglycemia for the short version? Yes, it is like diabetes, but other chemestries and conditions can cause it. The hi/lo spikes of glucose, simply spike and slump much faster than diabetes, from what I'm learning.

It's those sharp peaks and valleys that are the 'killers' as you probably know well. To make it even more quirky, using a glucose meter won't catch it. The tests have to be for all the other hormones working in what I thinkcould best be described as overdrive at the time of 'events'. Where a diabetic in trouble would eat a bit of something sweet, for me, treatment is with the starches [one of those little cracker paks] to slow down the internal processing cycle-it happens so fast. I hope you 'get' this, as I've really, really got to work out a diet plan for the both of us.

Thanks all, I'll be following up later! - hugs!!!! - j
