Gill if you are managing diabetes with diet only you can't have a real hypo. You can have one if you are having to take insulin. I have, however, had a couple of "false" hypo's where I felt shaky, broke into a sweat, blurry vision but they only lasted about 20 min's. It happens when your blood sugar levels drop (a good thing) and the body isn't used to functioning on that level. The body re-adjusts itself. The first time it happened I panicked and ate carbs but that's the worst thing you can do. The second time I just rode it out and it passed.
Cue - I'm soy intolerant so I can't have soy flour. I tried using almond flour but I had an allergic reaction so that's out 😞 I can have white beans though!
I've joined a Diabetes Forum and they are really helpful. Much more helpful than my GP who just told me to eat wholegrain breads and pasta. 😐
I miss chocolate but I am allowed one square of 70% dark chocolate once a week. It's too bitter to have straight so I melt it and mix it with a little Philly Cream Cheese.
Clair I can imagine on a cold winters day your hubby would miss a hot meat pie with lashings of tomato sauce!
