thanks for the explanation..

and as to haivng hypoglycemia- in some ways its just as bad.. I can't have lots of raw sugar and fructose either because it causes insulin spikes that deplete my overall blood sugar levels.. I too have to watch carbs and proportions, and this diet with the increased fiber and overall way of eating has been a lifesaver.

Also- my husbands family has a history of pancreatic failure (cancer/addisons disease both run in the family) and what the people who have had the failure and wound up diabetics because of it ate before going into failure made little to no difference in their long term prognosis or how old they where when it happened. My Bro in Law started on a low carb diet 2 years before going into pancreatic failure because soemone told him that would help his overall chances of staving off diabetes- WRONG... he is a severe type 1 diabetic now.
