Life in General

Nicole Richie was hopitalized for dehydration earlier this month. Nicole has recently been diagnosed with "hypoglycemia" or low blood-sugar.

Richie, 25, announced in October that she was seeking treatment for what her rep described as an inability to put on weight.

And though she and Paris Hilton work as counselors at a health camp on the fifth season of their E! reality show, Richie's own physical issues have recently taken center stage.

Four or five times she's felt really faint and almost passed out, She has to go into her trailer for a good part of the day."

(After her March 2 hospitalization, she reportedly collapsed again on March 14.)

Richie got her hypoglycemia diagnosis, "[She] is taking steps to manage it." Adds a show spokesperson: "Nicole has reportaed to work each day and the results have been fantastic."
