What are the odds that my hypoglycemia progresses to diabetes?

Can you answer childrenofthecorn’s question about Diabetes?:
I discovered about 5 years ago that I’ve been hypo all my life. Almost everyone in my family have symptoms of hypoglycemia. At the last hour of my Glucose Tolerance test my blood sugar dropped to 31. It started out at 90. I though I was dying. I’ve followed the endocrinologist advice ever since (no meds, diet only). Now I have very few episodes - none in the past 2 years.

I’m still worried that diabetes is lurking and no matter what I do it will happen. Anyone had the same situation?
Signs And Symptoms Of Diabetes
Diabetes Feedback: meh normal blood sugar is 70 - 110. if your sugars 31 your brain sort of shuts down and you wouldnt be able to sit at a keyboard and type.
Diabetes Feedback: I am right there with you, i discovered mine about 16 years ago when at work my sugar dropped down to 16. i now watch what i eat, i don’t eat heaps of sugar and when i feel a like my sugar is going down i eat protein.. protein is the key to keeping the sugar up, my Dr told me it will most likely turn into hyperglycemia when i get older.
