Definitely a connection! Hypoglycemia is managed with diet, a regular, good healthy diet to maintain blood glucose levels stable. Best managed with several small meals x day (ideally should include a good lean protein and good carbs, i.e. unrefined: whole wheat, brown rice, potatoes, etc. plus all types of veggies and fruit.) And that's why in AA I hear they recommend having candy when the urge hits. Personally, while Alcohol is not my drug of choice, it is a problem if I allow it to become one. Especially when I haven't eaten right and am stressed out... if that happens, I reach for a glass of grape juice, which is high in natural sugars. Or in desperate times: a chewy caramel candy (or two or three, lol!). Sugar is a carbohydrate and that is what alcohol is, a very highly processed refined carbohydrate.
