I don't know if I have more experience but this is what I"ve been told and have found to be true. If you breed to an oversized female you will oft times get average sized pups the first generation and than big and small the second generation. It also depends on the line that your breeding. Hypoglycemia isn't caused by size alone, as in humans there are other factors. Nicky may be throwing pups with problems because he is a carrier. Alot of times the overproduction of insulin is something that one grows out of or the body at least learns to deal with it better. I am hypoglycemic and have improved greatly as I got older. My son is also hypoglycemic and at 23 is starting to see improvement. It can be hereditary and not just due to size. If Nicky continues to throw pups that have problems you may have to discontinue breeding him. We'll see what other info breeders bring to this thread, it should be educational.
