If you want to be convincing, you need to use another analogy.  That exact 
thing has been done by lots of quacks with "eye exercise" schemes.  A good
reference is Martin Gardner's "Fads and Fallacies".

Note I'm not saying whether there is anything to the reactive hypoglycemia
argument.  Just that it is perfectly possible to convince someone that
they can see well when they can't, and to remind you that the mind is
a strange and wonderous thing.
