Very interesting.  Neither of my babies were big, but I did have
gestational diabetes.  I know I have problems with carbohydrates, even the
"complex" ones.  I have been following the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet with
some success since 1995 (about 4 years before the official hypO
diagnosis).  It hasn't been easy, because of the hypO -- I lose very, very
slowly and when more hypO, I tend to gain quickly.
