welcome here. 1st of all I wouldnt be too worried about seeing the Doc about hypoglycemia [MY OPINION STRICKLY] Why I say that is cause yrs ago I went thru an 8 hr gluclose test and yes was determined I did have it however it never made me change my eating habits. I have been on Atkins for over 7 months and at goal for almost 3. I eat 4 times a day and I now feel in control of my eating and my life. Dont be as concerned about the fat U eat, its all the carbs that u ingest that actually will do the damage. NOW for the second part about your kids. I have 2 kids... my daughter is almost 13 and altho she is tall and slim right now I am concerned at what will happen in the future. She is a real bread junky. They see how I eat and my husband cant believe the amount of food I can comsume. He isnt following the plan but because of my success he supports me. I guess all we can is to keep eating this way and in time hopefully train those closest to us to follow our example.
