Hypochondriac or Hypoglycemic?

It's cheaper to be Hypoglycemic :-) It's easily fixed by simply changing your eating habbits. That can be a lot easier said than done...especially when you're the one who usually cooks for the entire household. As it turns out, hubby tested high for the hypoglycemia too. Explains A LOT for us... Thankfully hypoglycemia is a lot cheaper to fix than going to marriage counseling.

Test yourself and see if you have it. If you test high - schedule a Glucose test with your Dr. Don't be suprised if your doctor isn't supportive. It's one of those deep unkown's for a lot of Dr's, but it definately is a pre-cursor to diabetes. Find a Dr. who is experienced in treating hypoglycemia. It is NOT a mystery condition - it really just means you live in America and consume the 'all American diet' - which includes LOTS of sugar.

Sugar isn't just in donuts, cakes, pies, cookies and sodas. It's in Ketchup, sauces, gravy's, processed dinners (microwavable) and LOTS more. Educate yourself :-)

Love this post...so health concious....America needs to pay more attention to our diet...we are literally killing ourselves. Kudos to you and your family on facing this issue in your life and not trying to just "medicate" the issue.
