Good point, frank

I'll give it a try and see if it does anything for me.

Honestly, my current diet is terrible in some ways. I know it's wrong, but another bad habit. One thing I've noticed about myself is that sugar combined with caffeine in liquid form (mainly mountain dew) really helps my mood. I also put alot of sugar in my coffee in the morning. I'm not big on sweets (snacks), and I know it's not entirely the caffeine that does it for me. I think it's a combo of both that gives me the 'mental pick up'. Otherwise, I eat healthy, but the problem is I don't eat 3 meals a day. Usually 2 (I know, it's another bad practice I need to break).

Another reason why I contemplate over the hypoglycemic diagnosis is because of other family member history. I have other family members that have suffered from depression & anxieny issues (not always officially diagnosed). My family also has a history of diabetes although I've been tested for that & it came out negative. I also seem to have a very high metabolic rate. All this gives me the notion that my body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels may be out of whack a bit or I just starve my body/brain of energy easier than most do. Obviously, ethanol intake is very similar to sugar intake as far as the body is concerned. I have no idea what I'm talking about but it's just a theory of mine. Not an excuse for my drinking problems by any means.

Thanks for the advice.
