thanks everyone --I think I probably wrote notes wrong in the class because a friend told me to wait till count is lower than my notes say. I crash around 80 and almost faint at 75 so I'm going to try to eat around 90 -100 and see if that helps me. Also thanks for the info on the gly index --I'm going to do some studying on that. This is so different from when I could only eat 40-50 carbs a day when I was hypoglycemic! I know with time I'll learn more -- everyone here is a great help and I thank you so much!
