	Obviously a test for blood sugar levels would pick up high (diabetes)
and low levels (hypoglycemia).  Since you are right that I don't know of any
hypoglycemia that is NOT reflected in low blood sugar levels, you'll have
to enlighten me and the net (or get a mailpath that works).  In order for
Fredericks to be right, it would have to be ~1000X more common that the
detectable type.
	I hope it's interesting.
