Diet suggestion: Reactive hypoglycemia can be seen at this age. Important to offer complex carbohydrates/protein in small volumes six times a day. If overweight or strong family history diabetes consult her MD for lipoprotein subclass testing for insulin resistance syndrome. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/snacks-reactive-hypoglycemia-1503.html
