Hypoglycemia and Spinning

I also found it very helpful to read the book Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution.

Would this book be helpful for someone who is hypoglycemic but not diabetic?

I think so. Diabetes is on some ways an operational definition. I have been diagnosed with diabetes and hypoglycemia at various stages in my life, but told I was OK when I was in good control. This just led to confusion, since being symptomatic is really just a sign of poor control, not that you don't have issues with blood sugar control. The book is great for explaining how to normalize your blood sugars, which is important for anyone that has a hard time to doing that eating a conventionally healthy diet.

Thanks Tri! I'll have to look into getting this book.

As a follow up, please be sure you guys keep your doctor in the loop if you are planning to experiment with dietary control of blood sugar levels. While dietary approaches to normalizing blood sugars are great, if you are on any blood sugar lowering medications, your doc will probably want to adjust their dosae first.
