Hypoglycaemia is a tough one to deal with. It has always struck me that diabetics who are insulin dependent seem to have to practise this very delicate balancing act between what they can eat and what they want to eat. The diabetics that I do know seem to either be overweight, or bordering on underweight.

Adult onset diabetes or Tpe II as it used to be called is manily, but not only(!!!!!) found in obese persons. Race and genetics seem to play a role too, that is why people who may be predisposed to diabetes and the problems of hyper- and hypoglycemia, are advised to lose unwanted weight and to maintain body mass index of less than 25.
