Hi Lisa!
Has your doctor given you a diet to follow? Type 1 and type 2 diabetes and hypoglycemia run in my family too, and I have started a low-carb diet that is working really well for me. I would think that you will need to limit your carbs since carbs as so tied in to insulin release. You want to stay away from white foods--white bread, white rice, white noodles, white potatoes, etc. and stick with whole grain foods--whole wheat or whole grain bread (it needs to say whole on it), brown rice, whole grain noodles, and sweet potatoes are better than white potatoes, etc. You need to watch your carb intake with fruits. Eat fruit but don't overdo it. Citrus fruits have fiber so that's good. Eat lots of lean protein, eat non-starchy veggies. Don't drink sugary drinks, and be careful of juices too. Alcohol converts to sugar so you want to be careful about consuming it. You can turn this around, and you WILL! You'll get lots of support here. Be sure to check out the sub-forum "Diabetes Support" under Dieting with Obstacles. Good luck! Glad you found us here!

(I think I shouldn't have skipped exercising tonight because I've got all this pent-up energy now. LOL)
