Chat to Hillary, and Hi to all the new families

Hillary,

I just wanted to say thanks for your post on hypoglycemia. Matt

does the same thing. He gets very emotional, eyes wide, looks kind

of 'crazy' when he needs food. I see it, and his teachers see it,

but the doctors still look at me like I am nuts when I describe it.

Now, I just have to teach him to eat when he feels that way!

Hi to all the new families that have posted recently. You have all

found a great bunch of people on this list! Welcome.

Hi Beth,

The doctors looked at my parents like they were crazy, too. I don't

know very much about the physiology of the brain, but it makes sense

to me that if being hypoglycemic can make you cranky, why can't it

make you anxious too? I don't think my parents ever got the paed. to

completely agree with their theory, but luckily, it's not something

that you need a doctor's help to take care of - just make sure he eats

(which I know is sometimes easier said than done).
