A member asked:
I know a 17 year old who is hypoglycemic but not diabetic. can they get diabetes? what should her carb intake be? she is also normal weight

Not : it is unlikely that she is diabetic. She may be hypoglycemic due to poor eating habit. If the problem continues, may need assessment by a physician for hypoglycemia
