hypoglycemia. An abnormally low level of glucose in the blood, the opposite of diabetes. American author O. Henry, a life-long alcoholic, suffered from hypoglycemia, his classic summary of the condition being, “I was born eight drinks be- low par.” During the long period he lived in his beloved Bagh- dad on the Hudson, his name for New York City, he claimed he drank an average daily two quarts of whiskey, which never pre- vented him from writing 50 to 65 stories a year.
