Hi there.

I'm a diabetic also. I have no idea if you are overweight or not, you didn't mention it in your postings. But if you are, I would advise you to start eating a high protein, low carb, low fat healthy way of eating. I don't call it a diet, because diets don't work and they say 95% of people who lose weight, can't keep it off.

Well, Alan and I are in the 5% of people who lost it and kept it off FOR YEARS!!!

It's just in our best interest to do so.

You can have snacks (it's good for you, and it will keep your blood sugar on an even keel). You obviously have had low blood sugar problems. ( I have rarely had episodes of hypoglycemia). I'm extremely lucky in that regard.

Took me a long long time to learn how to eat, and when to eat.

My best word of advice is not to eat anything WHITE. Keep the colors in your food. They are good for you. White stuff is bad. Colored stuff is good. Lots of greens. Whole grains. Don't use caffeine if you can help it.

And we eat fish. Lots of fish. We watch the mercury also. But we do eat fish. Do you eat fish?? And we gave up Red Meat a long time ago on the advice of a nutritionist. Now many people eat meat and have no problem. We just don't.

It's a way of life and my husband and I have adapted.

I only wish I could have used my brain like this 30 years ago, but SIGH!!! I was not the woman I am now.

OH well. We live and we learn.

I hope everything turns out okay for you.
