I didn't want to hijack the low blood sugar thread. I have a mild form of hypoglycemia too. However, NO ONE believes that I have it! Even my own parents. I belong to another forum where people say that their friends/family do not believe they have psychological problems like bipolar, adhd, or anxiety. A few days ago, someone told me that some of her family does not believe that she has Crohn's Disease. Eventhough she has had operations! So, I guess this is somewhat common.
I think in some cases it may be denial. My daughter was recently diagnosed with MS and it took me a little while to accept it.
