Is it permanant? Does it effect everyday life?

If anyone could give me any info on it, that would be great
Well theres your first Mistake as Diabetic people often get Hypo attacks, its when there blood sugar drops usually below 3.0 (if i recall correctly)
Diabetes happens when the body cannot make or use insulin correctly, When a person has diabetes, too much sugar stays in the blood. But it can drop dramatically if insulin is missed etc... or Poor diet is taken.

some factors that contribute to Hypoglycemia

fatigue
insomnia
mental confusion
nervousness
mood swings
faintness
headaches
depression
phobias
heart palpitations
a craving for sweets
cold hands and feet
forgetfulness
dizziness
blurred vision
inner trembling
outbursts of temper
sudden hunger
allergies
crying spells

In simple layman's language, hypoglycemia is the body's inability to properly handle the large amounts of sugar that the average person consumes today. It's an overload of sugar, alcohol, caffeine, tobacco and stress.


oh and for the record..

Its Hypoglycemia
