Does The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Diet Work For Reactive Hypoglycemia?

I picked up a book last night at Barnes and Noble. I sometimes hang out and browse for an evening for entertainment (I love books but on an adjunct professor’s salary I can’t afford to buy them on a regular basis). The book I purchased was The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet.

The reason I picked it up was because the diet sounds very similar to one I already eat.

• Vegetarian and vegan dishes
• An emphasis on “good carbs,”
• Emphasis on low glycemic foods
• low fat
• low sodium (I rarely add salt to cooking)

If the diet is a “miracle” diet for type 1 and 2 diabetes (in fact, it does have some awesome reviews), I thought that it might also help others with my blood sugar problem–reactive hypoglycemia.

Reactive Hypoglycemia Miracle Cookbook

To be clear–I have my reactive hypoglycemia under good control. I eat a fairly restricted diet–no sugar or “bad carbs,”  no potatoes, meat, white rice, candy or desserts. I subsist on a limited range of carefully thought out dishes and Luna bars. I only have problems with my blood sugar if I try to “cheat” and eat something I shouldn’t But just because I feel great right now doesn’t mean I couldn’t improve on that–perhaps tomorrow I will feel brilliant!

I’m sure there are others like me who are a little afraid of introducing new foods into a diet–especially if blood sugars are under control. I’ve definitely had emails from people who have tried a variety of diets with no success. Why not, I thought, see what the 30-day diabetes Miracle does to my blood sugar. It might help a few people out who want to know what a controlled diet like this does to blood sugar. At the very least, it might give me some new recipe ideas, although at first glance it looks like a lot of soups (there’s only so many ways you can make vegetable soup!).

Hey, I can always switch back if it doesn’t work. My 30-day trial starts today. Next week I’ll post how I got along with week 1 and I’ll include my blood sugar readings.

First task: where to buy McKay’s Chik’n broth and gluten flour…
