hypoglycemia is an acute drop in blood sugar...its usually harmless and can be treated by eating preferably sugary foods...but as with any other complication,it may be fatal if left untreated

Here is a great site for diabetes/hypoglycemia: http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp It's all about what you eat and exercise. The best way to know what you can eat and can't eat is to measure your blood glucose levels four times a day for several weeks. Glucose monitoring devices are free and most insurance plans will pay for supplies. Times to take readings are; first thing in the morning...right out of bed before eating or drinking anything and then two hours after each meal. You should eat breakfast, mid morning small snack, lunch, mid afternoon snack and dinner. Exercise is a major factor in controlling it. Learn all you can about it and what has a negative impact on your blood levels. It is to your benefit to take it seriously and learn all you can about it. The ADA link is a good source of information.

Here is a glycimic index chart (it is a way of measuring how much a carb triggers a rise in blood sugar), foods that are low & medium are fine to eat, as long as you aren't sensitive/allergic to them. Be sure to eat often throughout the day, and have a lot of high protein, high fat snacks. http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/glycemicfoodchart.htm And here is a really in-depth and advanced one:

Btw there are many alternatives to the foods you are currently addicted to. For example cows milk can safely be replaced with goats milk (in some cases), rice milk, soy milk, or almond milk. They also come in different flavors (vanilla, chocolate, etc.) that you may be able to tolerate. WHeat can be replaced with rice. Really it isn't so bad once you learn of all the different alternatives out there.
