I'm at work so I have to make this quick, but I went to the doctor today and she reminded me that its time for my physical, and that on my last physical I tested hypoglycemic. And this was when I hadn't even fasted! So when she reminded me of that again today I looked it up and figured out it can be caused by high alcohol cunsumption, which I've been struggling with for a while now. I also read that although alcohol induces hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia can also cause the urge for the high alcohol consumption! So its a vicious cycle. Anyway, if anyone knows anything about this I would appreciate your input. I thought about putting this on the substance abuse board, but I already know my drinking is a problem, I really wanted to know if anyone knew about how it related to hypoglycemia. Anyway, I'm writing this fast so I may not be making sense (I'm not even sure what I'm trying to ask), but any input is appreciated.
