Nicole Richie's diagnosis: She's hungry!

Reality star-socialite Nicole Richie has had to stop shooting the Simple Life twice now after falling ill.  It first happened last fall, and it happened again earlier this month.  Now the doctors say she is hypoglycemic.  In other words, she has low-blood sugar.

"She is taking steps to manage it," her rep said.

So what does that mean, she's going to start eating more?   

According to Wikipedia, hypoglycemia is usually treated by the ingestion or administration of glucose, or foods digestible to glucose.

So in other words she needs to eat?  It took a doctor to tell her that?

On the upcoming season of the Simple Life, Nicole and her once again best friend Paris Hilton will be camp counselors.
