Default Hypoglycemia?

"EFIS2" wrote in message

I am a person with reactive hypoglycemia (gets weak/confused if does
not eat healthy snacks/meals regularly)


Has it been diagnosed by an MD? Do you monitor your BGLs? If not, you
should get this done before getting your medical. mxmaniac is an idiot, but
his response, in this case, is substantially correct. Your alleged
condition isn't even tested for on a standard medical unless you admit that
you may be incapacitated or seriously adversely affected by it. That
admission would be made in the written questionaire applicants fill out as
part of the certification process. But there are a near-infinite number of
conditions that will beg for further scrutiny and / or disqualification.
First, establish that you really have reactive hypoglycemia. If you do,
you'll come under further scrutiny. If not, maybe you should disqualify
yourself on the grounds that you have a legitimate concern that you may not
be fit to act as PIC for uncertain reasons. mxmaniac, for instance, could
use his posting history here as an admission of a potentially dangerous
fantasy life.
