I am a person with reactive hypoglycemia (gets weak/confused if does 
not eat healthy snacks/meals regularly) - I'm sure there is not much 
chance of being certified to get a PPL or go onto being an airline 
pilot - I just thought I'd ask if anybody knows what the deal is, or 
if anybody knows about this problem.  I also have bad eye floaters, 
I'm sure that would be a problem too.  I'm not really optimistic given 
that the condition often causes weakness and lack of awareness if I do 
not keep my blood sugar up. 
 
aviation medicals are about correctible defects and being in control 
of any condition you suffer. 
it is not 'what are you feeling before takeoff' it is more about being 
competent and functional toward the end of a long flight. 
 
while you have an awareness of your conditions you also comment in a 
way that indicates that you dont control the condition which is the 
real problem. 
 
seek out an aviation medical examiner in your area and front up for a 
medical. talk to the doc about your condition. dont work on hearsay, 
work on facts, the doc may have a simple solution for you.
