Hey Schultz,
You are certainly the "Jared" of our group here. Keep up the good work.
I also have blood sugar issues. As long as I remember, I always get feeling really crummy if I don't eat on a regular basis. This usually means that if I don't eat when I am a little hungry, I tend to get dizzy and headaches. Not fun.
For me, eating smaller amounts more often helps a lot. Big meals tend to make me feel terribly sluggish later, I almost always have a big low in the afternoon. Grazing helps fight this a lot!
This also means that if I have to work late, or have some other circumstance where I don't get to eat, I will eat almost whatever is available, which usually means McDonalds or Gas Station Food. Neither is a good choice, but it beats being dizzy and headachey!
"Convenience Food" is a HUGE industry in the States. By just planning a little bit more, and cooking as much of our own food as we can, we have MUCH better eating, and control over our own health.
