Re: Causes of diabetes

Do you have diabetes? There are other causes of hypoglycemia than diabetes as this explaination from the Mayo Clinic says:

Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff

Hypoglycemia is a condition characterized by an abnormally low level of blood Sugar (glucose), your body's main energy source.

Hypoglycemia is commonly associated with diabetes. However, a variety of conditions, many of them rare, can cause low blood Sugar in people without diabetes. Like fever, hypoglycemia isn't a disease itself — it's an indicator of a health problem.

Immediate treatment of hypoglycemia involves quick steps to get your blood Sugar level back into a normal range, either with high-sugar foods or medications. Long-term treatment requires identifying and treating the underlying cause of hypoglycemia.

In addition, not all people who feel as if they have hypoglycemia actually have low sugar levels. What they have is low energy.
