Hi- I'm a month in myself.

I've cut out all caffeine and have very, very limited sugar (less than 10g) for snacks. I've been eating a lot of chicken, lean beef, shrimp, salads....

String cheese, celery, peanut butter/crackers, almonds, apples, Kashi cereal bars & trail bars I rotate out for snacks. However, I would break someone's legs for a glass of sweet tea and a double decker brownie right now! :)

I think the biggest thing I've learned is just to get in a groove. The first couple of weeks really were trying, but I've made the switch to decaf, kept my sweet tooth at bay, and I'm really starting to get the hang of really paying attention to what my body is telling me and I also started taking B12 at lunch and that's helped to balance out my energy level.

There are others on here waaaaaaay more informative about diets that I am, sometimes it just takes a few days for them to post.

Nuts & Seeds are the best emergency snack. Eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, beans, legumes, Lean meats, Whole Grain bread, most veggies (ditch the majority of the potatoes), fruit (lean toward cherries, most berries, pears [peaches are ok too]) are all good to go.

I'm still digging around on diet stuff as well, but like I said, there are some really knowledible folks on here that can probably help you a little more.

Have a great rest of the day! :)

I've been at this for 10 years....the previous poster is absolutely right and I'm impressed she's learned all that in a month. The other thing is timing...2 hours is a good baseline for most people and you can move it up or down depending on your own needs. Some foods, like peanut butter or oatmeal, can hold me for 3 to 3 and a half hours, while others require a boost around the 1-2 hour mark. Limiting or cutting out caffeine, limiting sugar and switching to whole grains is the best place to start. If you haven't already, check your blood sugar every couple hours for a few days to find out how certain foods affect you. Good luck!!

Im new as well but agree with the above posters! I have learn protein helps me alot...I always keep nuts, sunflower seeds in my purse along with whole grain wheat crackers with pnut butter in them. I try not to drink any juices unless its with a meal...I could kill for a sweet tea as well at times!! lol...I do allow a few drinks of one or something sweet only right after a meal. I find a glass of skim milk or low fat string cheese before bedtime or in middle of night if I feel sluggish and cant sleep help me most to control my symptoms. Routine has been my best bet. I always eat a bowl of whole grain cereal with skim milk, whole wheat toast with margin and a banana for breakfast everyday when I wake..and on the weekends maybe a cheese and ham omelet . Eggs, tuna, cheeses and lean meats like turkey help me feel better. I tend to have low potassium too, so i look for things high in potassium and even drink a non sugar electrolyte drink for times I need extra when Im over exerting myself housecleaning or exercising. I try to incorporate veggies, especially leafy green veggies such as spinach and romaine lettuce, they seem to help as well. I havent had soda in over 10 years or anything carbonated I cut out as well well before my hypoglycemia hit a month ago. I only drank tea, nothing ever with caffeine. I stay away from most sugars as I say unless a small something after I have already had a balanced meal., never after or as a snack. I agree you have to find the right combinations that work well for your body. Everyone is different, sum even have food allergies. I have read so many things and have tried to incorporate the basics and am still learning what works for myself. Biggest key for me is to make sure I eat every 2-3 hrs..and I dont overeat ever anymore. I make the joke Buffets are out for me! lol It sucks to always have to be conscious of eatting, especially when you arent hungry eatting so much throughout the day/night. I feel like I have to explain to others when Im out why I have to stop an eat so as they dont think Im being rude or being a pig...But the alternative is worse. I am very blessed to be alive, and take it day by day. I have also learned stress and anxiety will cause your blood sugar to drop...so I am trying to not take things so hard, breath and relax in times of stress. Goodluck, and blessings:)
