[QUOTE="hale710, post: 420968, member: 62974"] I for one don't trust any diagnostic tool from the Internet. I have 2 friends diagnosed with bouts of hypoglycaemia. They are NOT diabetic, and neither doctor has said they are. Both are female, healthy weight. One has slightly low BP but that is common for your slim females. The hypoglycaemia can appear quickly if they haven't eaten, and a small biscuit sorts them out. Left to their own devices their liver would dump glucose, but the process is unpleasant. As a type 1, if I'm having a hypo even a glucose dump from the liver could not be enough to help. It depends on how much active insulin I have on board. It is NEVER suggested for a T1 to ignore hypoglycaemia. The treatments are different. Hypoglycaemia is not an indicator of diabetes. It DOES show that something else could be wrong though and you should get it seen to :) [/QUOTE]
