I'm the kind of hypoglycemic that has terrible mood swings when my blood sugar dips too low, which can be as often as every 3-4 hours. I'm also the kind of high-functioning autistic that sometimes just doesn't get hunger pangs. Sometimes I don't feel hunger all day! Sounds great, right? Not if I get screaming and yelling sobbing my head off depressed/angry. By the time I figure out I need food to correct the mood swing I'm diving for feel-good foods like chips and cookies.

Can anyone suggest a technological solution to my biological malfunction? I need some way to be told to eat every three hours. I also need to find a good variety of fast and healthy snacks.

Hi BETSI . . . . . . so glad you found us.

Maybe you could get one of those little alarm watches and set it for three hour intervals or something similar. After a while it should become a habit and that would be a good thing.

Snacks need to be nourishing and also enjoyable. Try to include a few carbs in the form of vegetables or fruits and some protein that slows down the action of the carb and keeps your blood sugar level for a longer period of time.
Personally, I like a couple of LF cheese stix together with an apple or a pear; or some cucumber or celery sticks with a couple of tablespoons of humus.
