Hi, Rachel, it must be awful with two little ones.
As i have found out my body and particularly my pancreas doesn't like food.
The more I learn from experience and experimenting that I can't tolerate most foods and eat very little.
If you are going hypo very quickly, then that is called dumping syndrome. If you haven't tracked your bloods during this first hour it would be interesting to discover how quickly you spike then hypo!
It is recommended to eat small meals every two to three hours, but for you, only eating possibly every half hour would stop the hypos! Just a bite.
Low GI never worked for me, so I don't bother, the less carbs the better. Carbs are really bad for me. I maintain real good control by being in ketosis, that means my blood glucose levels stay in normal levels.
Your food and meal list isn't bad but I would definitely ditch the sweet potato, maybe eat smaller meals more often.
Most doctors would tell you to eat either complex carbs or good low GI, because of the need for glucose to your brain. We are well weird! We really don't need that amount of glucose, we have a metabolism that can't have the basic foods.
We have to know what foods and drinks causes our problems.
Our forum contains a lot of information, which is our way of getting control. It may or not pertain to you, but you have a long history of struggle like myself. Another view from someone who has been through it all, could really help you get through this.
You have to prepare for lots of testing individual foods and trial and error with your tastes, maybe like I have lately cut back on my fruit.
Some of us can't tolerate fructose at all.
Anyway, hope we can help.
At the moment I'm going through testing how I do with intermittent fasting, as this has helped me feel good.
Best wishes.
