Hi

I have suffered from a form of reactive hypoglycemia since 1957. If I eat a lot of sugar/starch/alchol I get low sugar about 3 1/2 hours later. For over 12 years I have controlled my problem by eating a low-carb diet. With my genetics (many Indians have my gene) I do not lose weight on such a diet. I am still about 60 lbs overweight but my blood fats are very normal, my circulation is fine and I need less blood pressure medicine to control my blood pressure. If \I eat too much sugar/starch/alchol but not enough to get a full blown low sugar episode I get chronic fatigue Any comments would be appreciated. I have figured out what is happening and I can tell you if you want to know.
