so late in my reply - life was on hold today until my IVIG infusion was done...

I've been border-line hypo-g since a kid [about 7yo], and webbing stuff up I've had incidents of both 'post-prandial/reactive[?]' and 'fasting' hypo-g since then. All random and usually results in the classic 'shakes' and/or fainting spells that last from 2-10 minutes. I've had fasting glucose tests and GTT tests over the years and except for my very first GTT a loong time ago, all has been disgustingly normal. Maybe it's ideopathic???? [joke here!]
Maybe my brain is being a worry-wort, but it's on a track of thinking that since hypo-g is soo close to diabetes, that it's mite have been, and still is a contributor to the neuropathies. You know, cross one other thing absolutely off the list...

I'm going to read deeply each site you've all referenced, and I've questions, lots of them. I've been searching in my area for quick and dirty classes about 'eating for diabetes' to help my husband, but I've a feeling I should be more cautious... I know the carb thing slows, balances or neutralizes the low-parts of the curb tho, and I'm wondering if those extra tests would be worth the effort....Would that mean adding a 'rheumy' to my doc's lists?
I'm beginning to feel like a hypochrondriac w/the multiple things affecting things which affect other things... Lots more to learn and all that chemistry to confuse me! Thank you ALL, lots to learn absorb and process! Feedback tomorrow for sure! - Many pain free moments for each of your!!! - j
