Hey. I hope you feel better soon.
I don't know anything about hypogl... (whatever ya call it). Don't know anything about health / medicine in general. Is it to do with metabolising sugar or something like that? If you think that could be it could you bring it up again with your doc. And if they dismiss it then ask for an explanation as to why they are dismissing it. That way... You might be able to dismiss it too, or you might be able to articulate reservations with their dismissing it. Doctors don't seem to like me so very much... Because I am full of 'why' and 'how come' and 'how do you know that'? Not trying to second guess or anything... Just trying to understand. And sometimes that process gets them thinking of a couple different options whereas they thought there was only one before. I like going to the university medical clinic because they are a whole heap more tolerant with that and they humour me along... Not so in the community clinics typically. Depends how busy they are I guess.I dunno about the weight thing...
I crave carbs typically. Pasta, potatoes, bread, that kind of thing. I suppose I eat a fair bit of sugar (goes well with caffene in energy drinks, coffee, and coke). But the amount of those I drink... I really should be careful because my grandfather ended up with diabetes... Should really take better care of myself in general.
Trying...
It is hard when processed crap is cheaper than fresh produce. And more accessible. And often involves less preperation.
