Nicole’s rep recently addressed Nicole’s condition of low blood sugar levels, “In her ongoing effort to focus on her well-being, Nicole has recently been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. She is taking steps to manage it.”

The thing is... and this probably will sound weird,
but you can look on it as either a blessing or a curse.
Its awkward, especially when you get the sicky shakes at 4AM say, which sometimes happens - more regularly in the beginning.
But you need to take exercise to manage it because of the way you need to manage your food intake, I'm probably fitter than I've ever been in my life. Which in a way, no matter how grudgingly I go to the gym, is good for me
Its not as if you have to go on strange diets, there are strange diets available - all co-incidentally requiring you to spend money to buy the books or attend the special clubs.
Its just eating sensibly, small and regular meals with no blow outs, I still have the main evening meal with my family, I just don't have as large a portion - I have the kiddie size portion, then another one before I go to bed, in the mornings, Hobbit like, I have second breakfast
.
Theres plenty of support groups and my experience of other peoples tales is that whilst Hypoglycemia is fiddly to get used to in a management sense, though once your regime is set its really not that difficult, I get to eat snacks at meetings !!, I'd rather have this than full blown diabetes with its side effects and really serious possibilities.
A disease that if you treat it correctly, can keep you fit as a side effect of the treatment - there is worse.
