And that's not what I said, so the rest of your comments are moot.


What you said and snipped was "Hypoglycemia is mainly a risk for
insulin-dependent diabetics".

If you had left out "insulin-dependent" it would have been fairly accurate as
diabtics are the largest at-risk group for hypoglycemia, but as is, it is a
false statement.

The medical community, which conciders any addiction to be a disease,
disagrees with you.


The "medical community" (whatever that is--I'm not aware of any universal
consensus) is just as vulnerable to the waves of fashion as other professions.


The "medical community" is doctors; you know, people with real training in
medicine and not living a virtual life pulling stuff out of their ass.
