Can you answer Ronda A’s question about Diabetes?:
I’ve had really bad acne for almost ten years now. i’ve also been suffering from hypoglycemia for alittle while. I think I have some sort of chemical imbalance, or hormonal imbalance.

Diabetes Feedback: I haven’t had that experience but it could be. Everyone is different. Controlling hormones is like trying to stop a train sometimes. Your doctor might be able to help?
Diabetes Feedback: Hypoglycemia is blood related not hormonal. You need to go to a good dermatoligist. Have you tried the proactive stuff? Sometimes that relieves it a bit but if it IS hormonal then you really will need to get help from dermatologist and your primary care. Make sure you wash your face twice or three times a day. Keep your hands and hair off (we tend to want to hide the problem which only makes it worse) Sometimes going on the pill will help too.
Diabetes Feedback: I have never had an acne problem, I of course went through my teenage years where I would break out in high school. I’m now 21 and only get a few spots here and there. I also have hypoglycemia (very sever hypoglycemia) for the past 8 months. My skin has not suffered any from my blood sugar. Its about the only thing that hasn’t been affected. Unless you count being too confused and exhausted to wash my face before I pass out at 8 pm after work lol. Hypoglycemia doesn’t have anything to do with the hormones that cause pimples as far as I know. I’ve done research and talked to my doc. alot. but then everyone’s body is different. I would just think that they are unrelated based on the different things that cause the two conditons.
