2. The Unfortunate Truth

Unfortunately, hypoglycemia is not reversible in many cases, depending on how it is caused. Some people carry it for the rest of their lives. Also, some people in the world don't even know what hypoglycemia is and that even the people that they work with every day have it. Others mistake hypoglycemia with diabetes. There is a huge border line between the two. Diabetes is divided up into two prime cases:

Type 1: Your body does not have enough insulin in the body to be able to store all the sugar in your body in the muscle and liver in the form of glucagon.

Type 2: Your body produces enough insulin, but the insulin itself does not do anything at all.

Hypoglycemia, however, is when you don't have enough sugar in the body, so technically it is two opposite cases.

The existence of the disease was denied until 1973. Now affects 246 million people world-wide. "Hypoglycemia" means "low blood sugar level," though "unstable blood sugar levels" would be a better name for it. Most doctors believe that, like diabetes, hypoglycemia is due to "insulin resistance."

People who do indeed have hypoglycemia tend to be tired more often and need to eat supplements that make up for this lack. Although hypoglycemia is not normally found in younger children and teens, there are always a couple of exceptions, whether something happened to the parents or something the child did that caused hypoglycemia to appear in the body. The point here is that it's there. It's different than many other diseases. It's a timeless curse that will never go away and that will suck at the life of those that possess it. We should support those with hypoglycemia in any way we can. It's not like it will go away if we ignore it. It's something that we have to deal with, whether we have it or not.

Inside of you there is always a struggle for balance. Each person's body responds differently to different foods. Most foods are digested and absorbed smoothly, letting out a burst of glucose which the breaks down to use. People with hypoglycemia's bodies over react, absorbing more of the glucose then the body needs resulting in low blood sugar. www.gicare.com/diets/hypoglycemia.aspx
