> Um... I'm hypoglycemic, and I was under the impression that a sugar craving usually means the last thing you need is sugar. My knowledge of it is pretty vague, but since I've almost entirely given up eating sugar, I've felt 100% better all the time. My father, who is also hypoglycemic, tells me that the best thing to do is to avoid sugar and always have some kind of food on hand. So, even if your body tells you that you need sugar, don't believe it. It's lying. It doesn't know what to do with sugar and therefore produces a ton of insulin. Eat something else.

I definitely am going to try to get help from a doctor as soon as circumstances allow.

I'd read somewhere else in the article that the page I linked to was from that if you start to feel bad, a bit of sugar would help. But I think what you are saying does make sense. (Not the first time my body's lied to me... ;-) ) I have been trying to not have any sugar but it's really hard to do that in a week - but thanks for your help because it gives me encouragement.
