i'm hypoglycemia and it usually doesn't bother me as long as I watch it. I mean I can't go a day without eating (unless I'm sick) or I will pass out. Usually I just keep crackers or a coke on hand in case I start feeling shaky.

it sucks though, my mom has diabetes - but she got hers from on overdose of insulin actually. she has gestational diabetes when pregnant with us and they gave her too much insulin or something and so now she has it. but she doesn't have to take any pills or shots, just has to watch what she eats.
