> Yeah I was kinda thinking that. I read an article on causes of hypoglycemia, and it said one of the causes is excessive Insulin production. Perhaps even if one isn't technically diabetic, and is pre diabetic, their body not being able to recognize insulin like normal ends up causing excessive release of insulin, lowering blood sugar excessively.

And when one part of the loop is out of whack, for what ever reason, that's when problems like low/high blood sugar occur.

I had a glucose tolerance test which confirmed low blood sugar. I met with a nutritionist who recommended small regular meals. If I'm having an episode I head straight for the sugar/carbs.
