That's great to hear your blood sugars dropped fast. I've gone to virtually no carbs in one hit. I'm eating mainly chicken/beef and cauliflower/broccoli and I have almost constant hunger. This is Hell on Earth.

Thank you. I'll try not to let it bother me. I don't know how any of you manage the minefield of balancing the various food groups. This is completely beyond my understanding as there are so many variables involved, not to mention different GI/GL carbs (not indicated on the packaging) and the...
