No, having hypoglycaemia does not mean you will develop diabetes. And developing hypoglycaemia has little to do with how much sugar you eat - however, controlling it does. To avoid low blood sugar you must eat often to keep your level up. And don't be an idiot, eating sugar won't give you diabetes. Type 2 is influenced by obesity, among many other factors (age, race, sex...), but eating a couple of sweets won't contribute to Type 2 if you watch your weight and eat fatty foods in moderation.

Consuming the correct food is crucial for your wellbeing. You can try supplementing your diet with acai berry, it is not only a widely tested and acknowledged weight loss produce, it is a superfood too. There is a risk free trial offered at lomard.myhomediet.info I've been using it for two weeks now and it is definately having an effect!!

If you are hypoglycemic, it means you have low blood sugar. From that, you would think you should eat more sugar to get your blood sugar up. THIS IS WRONG!!! Eating foods like candy, cookies, etc. may temporarily cause your blood sugar to rise, making you feel better for a bit, but it is really bad for your blood sugar in the long run. You should really try to cut as much sugar and white flour out of your diet as possible. It is hard, but eventually you won't even crave it anymore. And yes, there have been links made between hypoglycemia and diabetes, as well as eating sugar and diabetes. I'm not sure what the other poster is thinking- you are definitely not an idiot for thinking that sugar can give you diabetes, since there are links between the two. Get books from the library about hypoglycemia and sugar to help yourself learn more. I listed two below. Good luck.
