Hypo-glycimia, low blood sugar, runs in my family. The body produces to much insulin. Sometimes as you get older dibetis occurs because the pancress wears out. Your doctor can test your blood for hypo-glcimia. You fast, and a blood sugar level is taken, then you are given a high sugar drink, after a peroid of time another sugar level is taken. Then over a peroid of time other sugar leval are taken to see how quickly your body normalizes. The diet to follow is a lot like that of an dibetic. Normally a high protein and modertate fat. Stay away from sugars and refined flour. You can find books that can give you more information in most local library.
