Rating: 4 / 5
This is the 3rd book on hypoglycemia that I’ve read and by far the easiest to understand and most informative. It was exactly what I needed to understand my condition and gave many recommendations on the best diet and lifestyle for someone living with this disease. I HIGHLY recommend it.

The primary value of this book is that it explains how hypoglycemia is often a precursor to diabetes, and how insulin’s effectiveness decreases if one does not address and halt the progression. This was important to me because I was confused by the fact that while the immediate “cure” for low-blood sugar symptoms is sugar, paradoxically the problems are caused by too much sugar.
The second major value of this book is simplifying what one should and should not eat – stay away from white flour products and other simple carbohydrates, as well as processed cheese, meat, and heavy fats. On the other hand, readers need be careful – eg. the book recommends fruits and vegetables, including grapes (they have natural sugar that takes longer to process in the digestive system). However, it seems that ultimately sugar is sugar, even if in a more slowly digested form, and should be avoided as much as possible.
