A member asked:

Could losing weight cure hypoglycemia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Losing weight: Definitely not! If you have hypoglycemia you must do everything you can, under instructions form your doctor to avoid hypoglycemia. Losing weight is not the way to "cure" hypoglycemia! You may also need a number of laboratory studies and xrays.
