There is a diet that is supposedly helpful to hypoglycemics, in which high
carb foods are limited, and slow acting carbs are allowed. Not sure
exactly how it works, but I am sure a little research would help you find
it. High carb foods are supposed to OVER stimulate the insulin, which
causes the low blood sugar swings.
