I noticed I simply cannot eat cereal anymore due to the reactive hypoglycemia it causes. Googled around today and found out that what it was, which had me confused because the stuff has sugar in it so you'd think it'd be a no-brainer, right?

So it looks like I got to get more fruit in my diet and eat small meals throughout the day.

Anything that works well for you?

Pearled barley is cheap in bulk and lasts a long time. You can go a little sweet with it as a porridge, you can go savory with it as a grain in soups or salads or whatever else. Quite filling, though not as good on protein as something like quinoa. I just love porridge, and it leaves me satiated for a good long time. Cinnamon is supposedly good for managing blood sugar, and goes nicely with all sorts of stuff.

For hypoglycemia, I just have a bag of Swedish Fish or Sour Patch Kids or whatever and eat a number of them equal to the difference between my current blood glucose (in mg/dL) and my target range, then wait 15-30 minutes and check again.
