Paula - *waving you on in*  Welcome.  I'm glad you mentioned the dietician.  That will help with a lot of your questions as far as what to eat, especially if you tell him/her about your diagnosis.  Please visit often with any and all questions and we will do our best to help you.  There is a lot to learn about this disease, but they are coming out with new knowledge and technology all the time.

Come on in Paula, the waters warm!!LOL

Since you are hypoglycemic, you are on the way to knowing foods for a diabetic.  As I understand it, you should be eating 5 or 6 high protein meals aday instead of just 3 meals.  That is starting to become the recommended meals for a diabetic to help keep #'s even.  Diabetics are told to stay away from "white" food such as sugar, flour. pasta, etc.  The "browns" are good such as whole wheat flour, wheat pasta and rice, etc.
