Overview

. Hypoglycemia Mailing List

One of a kind! Mailing list about non-diabetic types of hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, reactive or fasting hypoglycemia, or hyperinsulinism.

The hypoglycemia mailing list is populated with people who suffer from non-diabetic types of hypoglycemia. All topics related to this subject are welcomed. The purpose of the list is to share information and support each other. It's a closed list: you have to subscribe first, before you can post. More info at http://hypo.iceblue.com.au.

Instead of single messages you get one big message per day containing all day's messages of the regular mailing list. The messages are identical to those of the regular mailing list.
 
The most informative posts of the mailing list are kept by Joe Bernstein (josephb@tezcat.com) and can be accessed at his health site (archiving policies). The Frequently Asked Questions are available at http://huizen.dds.nl/~hypo/faq and can be ordered by email too, by sending a message to listserv@lists.princeton.edu and write information HYPO-L in the body.

Currently, a team of the mailing list is working on a Hypoglycemia Survey.
