Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar.
Diabetes is a disease where you either don't make insulin or your body doesn't properly use insulin, leading to high blood suger (hyperglycemia). Diabetics can also become hypoglycemic if the treatment overshoots (for example, they take insulin but do not eat)
The best remedy for hypoglycemia is to ingest sugar. There are commercial preparations for diabetics that contain glucose, but drinking soda or eating a candy bar will do the trick.
Hypoglycemics DO NOT become diabetic. The type of diabetes where your pancreas stops making insulin typically has its onset in childhood and is an autoimmune phenomenon.

They are related in that they both concern sugar levels in blood, but they are quite different. Hypoglycemia, as mentioned, can be treated by consuming sugar -- a good choice is a glass of fruit juice. Hypoglycemia is a condition while Diabetes is a disease that needs close monitoring. In any case, you should check with your GP/family doctor if you believe you might be hypoglycemic or diabetic. Check webmd.com, too, but know it is not 100% reliable.

Absolutely. Hypoglycemia is "low blood sugar". I have hypoglycemia and I am 33. I was diagnosed when I was 14. Diabetes runs in my family as well. My father was hypoglycemic before he became diabetic. It does happen.I always carry small sweet candy and peanuts with me. It helps when I feel like I am getting really shaky or sick. Try not to overload yourself after feel your blood sugar drop though because then you can overhaul your system and feel really icky, If you have overloaded yourself, get some rest and you should feel better later this evening. If you feel worse, you will probably need to go get it out. No worries!

hypoglycemia is low blood sugar and diabetes is both higher than normal blood sugars, but diabetics do suffer from low blood sugar on occasion. the best way to control hypoglycemia is to eat high fiber foods and try to eat 3 moderate meals and 3 snacks a day. for a sweetener, try using Stevia which is a natural sweetener, derived from sweet leaf, has fiber, and helps control glucose levels. exercise as well. eventually, most hypoglycemics become diabetics as their pancreas' stop producing as much insulin. take care of yourself.

Hypoglycemia is a form of diabetes where your blood sugar is too low. If your blood sugar is too low you can go into diabetic coma. You have to eat/drink something with sugar like orange juice followed by like peanut butter sandwich and milk. Need protein to keep level up.

Yes you are right. Diabetes could be called hyperglycemia (hyper-more, hypo-less). Site below tells how hypoglycenia is rare but common problem appears just like it. See story 14 paragraphs down under this page on fasting.
Note fasting seems to be the worst thing for hypoglycemia. But a smoker gets sick when he stops smoking just like alcoholics suffer geting off alcohol. I used to suffer going without food for too long but that has not happened for many years now.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.
