Margene-
Wow, that is really interesting that your doctor told you that! I too
had a lot of hypoglycemic attacks early on and not eatin sugar has done
a world of good for me. I used to test my suagr at between 50 and 80
mg/dl and now, it is consistently up into the 90's and even 100's. I
feel great! :) Good for you too - it's really weird what an effect sugar
has, isn't it? it's a drug! I never knew...
Anyway thanks for the support :)
