2. No help from the doc.

Apparently, he's a traditionalist and will wait until the numbers are definitive. When I told him that I read that hypoglycemics eventually become diabetic and that I noticed that after a few days of taking in sugar or carbs to level my hypoglycemia, things begin to go in the other direction, he responded, "Oh, yeah that's happened to me too."

I know the answer is to find another doctor, but, really, that's how my troubles began. My hubby thought we would save money by going on an HMO back when we were younger, which meant we had to switch doctors. Apparently, we weren't as young as we thought we were because the doc prescribed something that would, essentially, steal my health.

I've been fighting it ever since.

Thanks for the info. At least I know what questions to ask.
