Answers:
You won't be diabetic!. That's a fact!. Untreated diabetes does not lead to hypoglycemia!. You may, of course, by hypoglycemic, but this is more likely to be due to your not eating properly!. (You mention that you might be developing an eating disorder as you can't eat something without feeling bad about it!. This definitely needs checking out!.)

Unfortunately, for people who do have eating disorders, this can be one of the common symptoms!. Your body needs a certain amount of glucose (usually obtained from the breakdown of foods that are eaten) to be able to perform correctly!.

I do hope that you will see your doctor for further advice and guidance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should go to a doctor, I have a friend who is hypoglycemic and affected him very much before he knew how to deal with it, only a doctor should diagnose you, not a school nurse, taht is because the nurse is not trained to diagnose things like that

the juice box could be an indicator of something different, so I would see a doctor, and if you dont have it, then the question wont hang over your head all the time!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have had type 1 diabetes for 15 years and i get all of those symptoms when i have hypoglycemia!. I would definitely go to the doctors - this really does sound like diabetes or hypoglycemia!.
Are you experiencing any of the following:
frequent urination!?
Increased thirst!?
Weight loss!?

If you are then it is most likely diabetes but if not then most likely hypoglycemia!.
Whatever the case however i strongly advise you to go the doctor's, this can become serious if left undiagnosed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most teenage hypoglycemia is caused by poor eating habits!. Quick food like Pop Tarts and cereals, sugary drinks will cause a mid to late morning drop in your sugar!.

Eat a good breakfast with some protein and fat!. These are slow burning calories that will sustain you through the morning!.

The test for hypoglycemia is called a glucose tolerance test and I always tell my patients to bring a sandwich because if their blood sugar does drop they feel terrible and while a carton of juice or a coke will bring their sugar up !.!.!.!. it doesn't last very long and if they don't eat they will just feel bad again an hour later!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
