    Our size has nothing to do with how well, or poorly, our bodies handle sugar. I'm hypoglycemic and I have several family members who are (or where) diabetic. It makes reaching for sugary things tempting when I get shaky and cranky, but I know they'll do me in. I concentrate on leaning toward proteins and fats instead of carbs, not so much that I throw things further out of whack, but enough to keep me full without causing swings.

    I try to keep how foods break down sugar-wise in mind as well and for a while kept a chart in the kitchen to help me plan meals. The chart here is useful and being mindful of it has been helpful for me:

    Glad today is better!
