Some good info here, but some of it is outdated. There’s some good recipes but they are arranged as a meal plan. You’re not to swap out meals because the numbers for the whole day are planned. So, it’s not very practical.

This is a quick read about the Glycemic Index in food effects the body's production of insulin. It makes sense to me, but we will see if it really helps me regulate my hypoglycemia and help me lose some weight.
