Me too. I knew I was a borderline diabetic and hypoglycemic (wonky pancreas) since I was diagnosed back when I was 17 years old. If you check out the diet restrictions, alcohol is a no-no (beer’s the worst). Personally I think it was instrumental in shortening my drinking career as anything else. (I started really drinking at age 24 and hit the Program of A.A. five short years later at age 29.) And guess what, not only does the disorder affect you physically; it gets you mentally as well.

Hopefully you will be able to keep it under control with diet. (Watch out for those starches and carbohydrates!) Follow your doctor’s advice and you can live a full and happy (healthy) life.
