COVID-19 INFORMATION RESOURCES

Greetings. The Hypoglycemia Support Foundation is a four-decade old patient-advocacy organization committed to supporting health and wellness. During the COVID-19 epidemic, we hope to serve you by providing reliable information related to the Coronavirus and how the epidemic is being managed. This page is designed to provide easy to find reference and resources related to the Coronavirus. We have tried to emphasize sites that are science based, and articles that are written with a higher standard of scientific and journalistic integrity.

There are some emerging therapies and solutions which are yet to have the benefit of complete clinical studies behind them, but which seem to show promise – we view these with one hopeful eye and one critical eye – we do not endorse any of the links provided here, nor can we guarantee the scientific veracity of the information they provide. Hopefully, we can collectively review the information we provide here with the best of our critical thinking skills but also acknowledge that the whole world yearns for answers sooner rather than later. Here’s to your health and safety.
