People that have diabetes can get hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemic (high blood sugar). Diabetes is an inability of the body to maintain blood sugar levels.

You can get hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and not have diabetes. However you have some risk factors for diabetes.

I really think you need to follow-up with a doctor on this. Diabetes is not normally an instant killer but overtime it can cause serious problems with your body.

The most important thing to do is to keep your blood sugar regulated. You need to eat smaller meals throughout the day consistently.

One of the problems with hypoglycemia is that your blood sugar can go low enough to the point you loose conciseness. That's why it is very important to eat regular meals.

If you do have Insulin Dependant Diabetes it may be necessary for you to be on additional medication despite a healthy diet.

Like I said it really is important to follow-up with a doctor. Diabetes is a highly manageable condition and you will be just fine as long as you are consistent with any medication and your eating habits.
