It's our modern sugary diet full of processed or pre-digested food that's really to blame. These body defenses against low blood sugar also cause some very different symptoms in different people. One symptom that is not uncommon in women is an anxiety attack, or even fainting. Men sometimes might experience these symptoms, but not as often. An anxiety attack caused by a hypoglycemia episode while driving might result in a phobia of driving, or if driving in a tunnel, a phobia about that, or if on a bridge, a phobia about that.
Men have another common symptom.
Men who change personality dramatically while drinking are of this type. I once helped to save a marriage by simply advising the husband to eat a handful of peanuts and raisins every two hours after lunch. Anyone who has a sugar handling problem might be well advised to carry a bag of peanuts and raisins around, and make sure that they eat a handfull every two hours or so. The raisins will provide glucose within a relatively short time, and the peanuts will provide protein and fats that can be converted into glucose over a longer time. This was what I usually advised hypoglycemic sensitive persons to do, and it works well.
