Hey Lorraine,

Thanks, I will definitely give the low carb diet a whirl. Sounds plauible to me. Someone else mentioned this to me on a different board. I have nothing to lose except some extra weight maybe.

Hmmm, 10 to 20g at each meal. That doesn't sound like a lot.

Thanks again,

Sherry

Within 2.5 hours of eating, I can actually feel insulin levels go down because I lose the ability to thing clearly. For example, it's difficult to think about how to solve a math problem. I have difficulty finding words, etc., etc. On the other hand, after eating meals, I have difficulty concentrating. I can think clearly as long as I keep a fairly high level of carbs in my diet. I have Parnate to thank for this.

> Just jumping in with my 2c. The type of sugar swings you are talking about look to me like they would respond to a low carb approach. This gets you off the carb cycle stuff--feeling spacey after eating etc. What you would want to do is to try to keep your blood sugar fairly constant by eating the same amount of carbs per meal. I am low carb and I would guess I eat between 10-20 gms of carbs a meal (I am not dieting.) My FIL is diabetic and they recently put him on a steady state mod. carb diet--he is to eat 60 carbs per meal no more, no less. Anyway, might be worth a try...
