Not diabetic, but I have hypoglycemia and hence predisposed to type 2 diabetes. I'm on low carb diet because of it - definitely doable and I feel better than ever on it. Hypoglycemia means I shake from being hungry all the time. It doesn't matter how much I eat, lol. But a diet rich in protein and fat and eith a lower glycemic index does the trick for me. So healthy meals: meat, rice or potatoes and veggies.

Have you ever had that diagnosed? I heard it can be caused by an insulinoma, which is a benign tumour that churns out insulin. Easily removed by surgery. Not saying you've got one of course.

Yes, diagnosed and idiopathic. No tumours, genetic, runs in my family.
