That's the traits of civilized people. Also shows intelligence.

All 3 or 4 siblings of my mother (except my mom) had type II
diabetes. They managed to control it through diet and insulin shots
(in old age) and lived a normal life. I do not know at which stage in
their lives diabetes entered because they're all so much older as I
was born when my Mom was almost 40.

The first time I realized that I might have hypoglycemia was when I
was 25. It was because I'd get shaky if I didn't get food on time. I
was lucky that in growing up years, my family ate extremely quality
food. The rice used most of the time was a type like Thailand's
Jasmine but we didn't just use rice like in every meal as in most
familes. We didn't eat rice for breakfast at all and also our
breakfast always included either egg or meat. My mother and father
grew up the same way and I saw the same patern in our relatives, i.e.
it's not that way in the general population. So, I considered myself
lucky because lunch (at school) wasn't till 12 O'clock in middle
school and high school. School started at 9:15 (with singing national
anthem and taking a pledge and class begins at 9:30); the school bus
came at 8:15-8:30 AM - this bus makes a second round to pick up others
via a different route - and so I usually had my breakfast around
7:30AM.

Of course, in college years, my eating schedule got messed up
especially the first year. I was not quite 17 yet at the time. I
don't know whether that had a long term effect on me or not.

I have heard about a new type of test and so will check into doing the
test. For now, I am managing fine with knowing what to eat that
makes me feel well though sometimes, I indulged in what I normal
wouldn't eat anymore. The other day, I was at a friend's house and so
had dinner there with white rice. Today, my sister's making a dish
rice noodle with fish chowder, a very typical indeginous food in Burma
and she will bring it. Since those noodles in US are made from low
quality rice, I used to use Japanese version of very thin noodle made
from flour and sprinkled with boiled egg. It's been a bit almost 2
years that I cannot eat that Japanese thin noodle that taste like the
rice noodle in that dish anymore either. Though it didn't make me feel
lousy like rice noodle, it didn't make me feel good and so I stopped
using it. One thing I noticed about myself is that I intuitively like
food that makes me feel well. Hence, in my younger years, I wasn't too
crazy about that rice noodle dish though I loved the egg noodle dish.
Whenever that dish is made at home, I still wouldn't skip any meal of
the day. Besides, younger age require more protein and that must be
why I just couldn't manage skipping a regular meal (with meat). I
remmeber that oen of my older brother wouldn't even bother eating that
noodle dish, an item not made frequently in my family because it's
time-consuming and all the children still wanted to eat a reglar meal
with meat anyway
