A member asked:
Is it possible for losing weight to cure hypoglicemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Typically people who are overweight develop hyperglycemia and weight loss can lead to improvement in blood sugar. If you are diabetic and on medications to treat it, you could have episodes of hypoglycemia. Weight loss in and of itself will be unlikely to cure hypoglycemia. If you aren't diabetic and are hypoglycemic, you need further testing from your physician.
