New Replied yesterday, by network ate it...
Thanks for the suggestion, but there is no way on earth I can prick my finger all the time... I almost panicked and hyperventilated the two times they did it yesterday... I think I'll just watch how I feel, since it was clear to me when I felt lightheaded and weird... Just not ready for any needles and hope I never have to be. I was so freaked yesterday, and the doctor told me it did not mean I was getting diabetes, but I was sooooo scared I almost hyperventilated.
What's better? Pricking your finger to monitor the blood sugar level or taking the associated risks of not knowing?

You get used to the finger pricking. Quick, not painless, but very tolerable. Mosquito bites are worse.

I've read all the posts and I concur with Scott. Watch what you eat and how much. Some examples for you: 1/3 cup of white rice == 15gr of carb. 1/2 cup of pasta == 15gr carb.

Some Links:

Should get you started.

New As I understand it...
It isn't so much the carbo count as the glycemic index that matters for hypoglycemia. Two foods can have the same carbo amounts, but the one that gets in the bloodstream faster will cause a higher spike (and corresponding low).
