Hi Karen

I'm sorry to say that, with that genetic background, and
those symptoms, I don't think your opening comment will
remain one you can make for too much longer.

Particularly if you continue looking for good chocolate cake
recipes, unless you can find ones that also have no flour as
well as no sugar.

Have you been tested by your doctor for diabetes? If not,
I'd suggest you ask specifically at your next regular
appointment.

I'll echo NoneGiven's advice. Cheap blood glucose meters are
available - let people here know where you live and they can
offer advice there. Even if you aren't diabetic, you may be
surprised at your blood glucose readings at the times you
are "feeling sluggish".


Cheers Alan, T2, Australia.
