I'm actually hypoglycemic. My grandmother and mother were both hypoglycemic before they became diabetic and I'm working very hard to not burn out my pancreas! Moderate to lowER carb is what the dietician told my son to eat as well. He went into hypoglycemic convulsions at age 6 and the dr. told us we had to really keep him on track diet-wise so he didn't burn out the pancreas and become diabetic in his teens. He's 18 now and, for the most part, is doing really well. He had to up his carbs last week cuz he went into mild seizures from a really low crash.

We definitely are in this for health. I'm wanting to lose more weight but health is first and foremost. I'm trying to eat healthfully, veggies, a little fruit, and lean protein.
