Hi There,
Have you found something that works for you? I was doing some reading for another user and wonder if you are adding some activity to your schedule. If you are eating little already, then it might be time to eat normally but add some activity to help your blood glucose levels. There is some information here about exercise. David Mendosa has written a share post that is very informative and a good guide. You can find that sharepost here. Now I am not crazy about workouts and stuff either, but I do know that moving for 20-30 minutes a day makes me feel better, helps me to de-stress, and is also good for helping to control my sugar levels.
You might want to read about the glycemic index as well. David Mendosa has alot of information about that here. I found it interesting and it also gives you a list of foods that will not adversely affect your glucose levels but will give you enough calories to get you through.
Anyway, hope you find some of this information helpful. Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
