Hypoglycemia

My five year old granddaughter has low blood sugar, and if she does not eat right after waking up, she has passed out and also has a terrible temper at times.. Most times she is a sweet child, but then she will become very uncontrollable. She is not on any medication at this time. Is this behavior due to her low blood sugar? How can we help her?

Should he have stopped the labor to control the diabetes? Could the diabetes be responsible for the twins’ low blood sugars at birth and the subsequent health issues of one of them? What are the short and long term effects of this hypoglycemia?
