Lightbulb hypoglycemia...

Hypoglycemia was a "trendy" diagnosis, in the late 70's and early 80's. Manypeople..and seemingly mostly women had this "disease" then. The Schering company even made a drug to "treat" it called ProGlycem...which was a total failure.

The only REAL cause of hypoglycemia today is an insulinoma in the pancreas.

That is how medicine is.

Another example? Well, before Big Pharma decided to push statins on us, the "normal" cholesterol was 220 + your age!

Today we have IBS which I think is a blank label. I think something else is going on with IBS patients and the true
cause has just not been found yet.
Once that happens, then IBS will no longer be the "name".

If you go on the net and study insulin resistance you can find some doctors who claim that all people over 40 have a degree of this.
Also a deficiency of chromium, may cause poor sugar control.
You can try that to see if you feel better.
400mcg of chromium picolinate or
250mcg of chromium polynicotinate
