| 2007-11-29 | Cyndi | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much Jurriaan. I appreciate your honesty and expertise in the area of hypoglycemia and sugar addiction. I will probably not be able to change my husband's diet, but I am now aware of why he is so moody at times. Hopefully I can teach my two boys to eat properly so they don't have to depend on alcohol in the same way my husband does. Thank you again. |
| 2007-08-16 | Sherry | 8 | 8 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your help! He does eat well when he eats, but (since I make his lunches) I will make sure to use the Hypoglycemic diet. I'll let you know if it helps! |
