Default Hypoglycemic: What's the difference between hunger, cravings and low blood sugar?

Low carbing has obviously made tremendous difference with my hypoglycemia....it's 1000x better.

I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has the same experience as me. I'm thinking I am really, really sensitive to carbs...any carbs....in my meals and snacks.

If I eat at VERY low carb levels, I experience true hunger in about 4-6 hours.

If I eat any more than about 8-10g carbs in a meal, within 2-3 hours I start to feel those mild hunger pains associated with my old hypoglycemic "episodes".... where I was prompted to eat something to keep my blood sugar stable. But I don't ever "crave" carbs...I just need/want a little protein & fat...like cheese or peanut butter.

And we all hear about people craving carbs all over this board. Do you think their "cravings" are kinda the same as my LBS hunger? Or are they two different things?

Does this make any sense to anyone but me??
