| I have had low blood sugar for many years. I could talk about it at great length but rather than launch into a TLDR, let me simply recommend this: Try a rough approximation of the hypoglycemic diet and see if it helps. By that I mean first remove as much white sugar from your diet as you can (soda p... |

| Sfbum-- My bathroom trips were a similar ordeal until I realized that when I ate popcorn they were less daunting. So I began eating popcorn more often and it helped even more. So my recommendation is to eat popcorn 2 or 3 times a week. You need to be sure to drink your required 64-72 ounces (2 liter... |

One day at a time.
Do whatever it takes to get you thru the day.
Only when you are having a particularly good day should you look to the future. |

| I must add to my post above that you need to drink your 64-72 ounces of water each day for the popcorn trick to do its thing. With the water you should see results within 2-3 weeks. |

| To cover the base, I need to ask if you are doing the alignment procedure on these printers? This should be done when you first install the printer and then when you replace the ink cartridge(s). At least at those times. If you are getting banding in your images, perform the alignment again. It is s... |

| I think the best thing you can do is invest in a blood sugar monitor so you can check it while you are feeling weak, get a numerical value, and that will reveal a lot. If you don't know how reasonable your blood sugar reading is, get back to me. PM me if you like. If you can afford it, and especiall... |

| @KitLilly-- When my blood sugar drops, I experience more of an emotional reaction. I begin to feel frustrated, strung out, ticked off about something. But I don't feel physically on the verge of collapsing. We are all different, granted, but could you be experiencing a drop in blood pressure rather ... |

| ^ That's where record keeping pays off. If you can keep track of what you ate and when, how you felt, how you slept, any exercise you did, etc, you begin to get a handle on the causes of what you describe and possible ways to remedy them. It could be what you are eating but it could also be other fa... |

Fortunately tho I can handle gluten so I am thankful for that. Have you tried some alternative flours such as spelt? O... |

| Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble. Unfortunately, doctors know diabetes quite well but hypoglycemia they receive little training on and thus know little about. That's why they get the impression that if one's blood sugar drops, you should eat something sugar laden to boost it back up. Not... |

I think this is more what the op had in mind. It is designed to help the child who cannot make friends, help them get so then can make some friends. Moxie isn't new; its been around for several years. |

I too am on a special diet, one that isn't like any i have encountered. Its just the NeilM diet. But it works for me and helps me sleep well and fee... |

| While your location may not provide much (or any) in the way of public transportation, you can turn that into a positive in that there should be plenty of quiet back roads you can drive on while you get the hang of it. My recommendation is to get all the practice you can. To drive with a learners pe... |
