How does hypoglycaemia relate to diabetes?
Hypoglycaemia normally precedes diabetes, since the hypoglycaemia puts a strain on the pancreas and leaves it more likely to suffer damage. Hence, as the Western diet contains more and more refined carbohydrates, so more people get obese (1999 survey showed 79% of the American population was overweight, up 15% from ten years before), more people get diabetes, more of us need to wear glasses, more of us suffer heart disease, etc.
