Natural cheese is great, that's why I say to avoid it here, because all of our cheese is nonorganic (well, not all of it) and pasteurized. Even our organic cheese is pasteurized. It's possible to get raw cheese but it's too expensive and never organic, making it still worthless. Raw, unpasteurized natural cheese is aweomse, so it should be okay for you. I really don't know why we still pasteurize here, there is no need for it anymore. The only reason I really say to avoid it is because milk products are basically simple sugar and more quickly raise your blood sugar. Cheese, however, isn't too bad because it has to be digested first, whereas something like milk goes straight to your blood pretty quickly. My main thing is to limit carbs, keep protein moderate and increase fat. Increasing fat seems to be the best way to go in my opinion. I avoid peanuts and cashews, or at least recommend this for the first few months, because they are the nuts highest in carbohydrates. Cashews are actually beans, which must totally be avoided at first. Many hypoglycemics seem to have quick reactions to stuff like peanut butter, so that's another reason for throwing those on the list. I myself couldn't handle peanut butter and used to get almost immediate reactions, within 5-10 minutes, after eating it.

Thanks for your quick reply. I know that peanut butter generally has sugar in it so it should obviously be avoided. I am assuming that natural peanut butter is okay. The kind of peanut butter I buy is organic..It contains only peanuts..No sugar and no salt. When you say you have reactions to peanut butter, I am assuming you mean the most common kind that is found in supermarkets..With sugar and hydrogenated oil.

Nope, I mean natural.

Cashews are also known to supress thyriod hormones, which give hypo thyroid actions of the body in hypoglycemia. Thus another reason they are reactive causing sugar imbalance.
