Just wanted to throw into the mix that the maintenance level of the South Beach diet (not necessarily the 2 week prep part) is also very good for hypoglycemics. (I'm hypo and have been for decades, with diabetes in my family... I gotta watch my p's and q's)
I eat the "good" diet and fuel carefully with complex goodies before a ride, but use somewhat simpler carbs during rides (fast in, fast out) with wild abandon. Mind you, I'm doing Clif Shot Blox which are fairly complex in the carb universe.
My nutritionist saw no problems at all with this approach. Ask your doc or nutritionist for guidance. Those folks are awesome!
