I’ve had the blood sugar problem since childhood, and that’s not a good thing, since type 1 diabetes runs in my family. I have to watch what I eat and how much, some might say I obsess over it.

Start on a hypoglycemic diet, and stay away from anything that is high in carbs, like fruits, breads, pasta, white potatoes, etc. Center your meals around protein (meat, eggs, whole milk, butter [not margarine] cheese, and other meats, and eat vegetables in lesser amounts than they tell you to.

Nutritionists are so far out in left field these days it’s not funny. Since carbs turn to sugar in your blood almost immediately, you should avoid them like the plague.

If I change the ratio of protein/carbs that I eat, I end up with blood sugar that I can’t control.

So be good to yourself! *hug*

My P31W has recently begun subbing xylitol for refined white sugar. Glycemic index of xylitol is MASSIVELY lower than refined sugar -- even lower than sucralose -- plus there's no aftertaset at all, AND your body already makes xylitol as part of it's natural functions, so you're not intorducing anything into your bod that it can't deal with.
