That's a good plan, Cathy. I am not diabetic, but I do have reactive hypoglycemia and a sensitivity to carbs, so I have to be careful of my body's cues on when to eat. If I eat a meal filled with quick-burning carbs, my blood sugar spikes, gets flooded with insulin, and crashes, and suddenly I'm ravenous when I shouldn't be. I've solved that by being very aware of what kinds of carbs I consume now. I'm sure being diabetic you are used to watching your carbs. As long as I stick to slow-burning carbs, I can handle just eating when I'm hungry, as you are now doing.
