My Mom never got any symptoms until in her last years. It could be
that she learned from her older sibling early enough to be careful
with her diet and never got to that direction.

Oh, I was aware by 9th grade how I'd get shaky but it was only around
25, I cooreakteds with the term "hypoglycemia". Still, young enough
not to care too much beyond eating on time though , just out of habit,
I would't buy white bread and also ate fast food in very limited
amount. My weakness was sweet. I always had ice cream and frozen
waffles and stuff like that.

Well, I knew you'd get it and since I wa sresponding to your post, I
decided not to spend too much time elaborating. In the past, I have
been amused in hearing some Americans asking "You eat white rice,
right?" as if that's the only thing we ate. The meat and seafood we
ate were not full of antibiotic nor the vegenatables just looking big
with no nutrition.
