I eat the Russell Stovers Sugar Free Candies when my sugar drops so low I begin to get a migraine. Within about three minutes the headache goes away. Perhaps the sugar alcohol doesn't absorb as easily but it does give a little push when nothing else will work (i.e. high protien). When I start getting one of the headaches from low blood sugar, a big slab of chicken just makes me sick to my stomach!!! These little treats, IN MODERATION, seem to make things a little brighter I know this doesn't sound as healthy as an orange but, hey, with our Adkins thing going on here, they're a thing of the past anyhow!
