Hypoglycemia and No-S??

I came across this site after googling "no sweets," as am hypogycemic. I usually don't eat sweets at all, but every once in a while I get back in the habit with disasterous results.

As a total newbie, I have a question to find out if this plan, which sounds so reasonable and do-able, is right for me. Is anyone on this site also hypoglycemic? How does the three meal a day plan work for you? Do you ever "crash"? And, if so, what do you do?

What does your doctor say to do if you crash? A diagnosed medical condition needs to be treated as such. The no snacking rule is meant to prevent mindless grazing, not to inhibit doctor prescribed treatment. Recently, I had a few crackers because I had to take meds and I know from experience that doing so with these meds without food is a really bad idea. I didn't call that a fail.

The number of meals is not set. It's obviously three for most people, but if your medical condition requires more, then that's perfectly compatible with No S.

Obviously check with your doctor, but I think if I had a condition that requires eating 4 or more times a day that I would use a smaller plate and comply with the one plate rule.
