I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia (sp?) when I was young. It was corrected through diet and exercise.

I have no doubt that if I was a child today, it would have been diagnosed as ADD and I would be on drugs.

It's the panacea thingy...

I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia when I was 18. My father was convinced there was something wrong with me because I was always so tired when I should not be. He worked at a hospital, and the lab did the all day blood sugar test on me, and I must've been very low blood sugared because one of the docs came to me and spoke to me as if I had a very, very serious condition. I went home and told my mother, and she went out and bought a whole bunch of fresh fruit that she then poured sugar all over. She believes hypoglycemia is a phony condition. I was so devastated that she cared so little about my health. She always pooh-poohed medical conditions that were not convenient.
