Helen, you are very lucky to be blessed with a normal, healthy, fully-
functional pancreas. Unfortunately, if I, hypoglemic that I am, ate a
jelly donut and a cup of real coffee, within 5 minutes I would be
sitting in the bathroom (if possible) begging G-d to kill me, or to
get the poison out of my body, whichever came first. Low blood sugar
has to be experienced to be believed--it is a horrible feeling.
Feeling weak and shaky in the case of hypoglycemia is like saying a
volcano is equivalent to milk boiling over. People have been known to
pass out while driving if they're hypoglycemic and nibbling on
candies. It's not a minor condition. It's not cancer, but it's
potentially dangerous, if it leads to fainting at the wrong time, like
while you're driving or during a stressful crisis like taking a math
test. (My high school's trigonometry Regent's exam was the only one I
failed, and I didn't care one whit. Stress is to be avoided by
hypoglycemics.)
In any event, something about walking a mile in another's mocassins
comes to mind. A bit of experience is all it takes. Cherish your
normal reaction to metabolizing sugar. You're very, very lucky you've
never had your head between your knees staring at a bathroom tile
looking for comfort. I, for better or worse, have. Now, on the subject
of espresso coffee...
