How I did it: Purely by accident, I discovered that my negativity was directly related to my hypoglycemia. I was also constantly struggling with depression- which is now gone.

I started the Southbeach diet, and the elimination of the carbs during the first stage was remarkable. My symptoms were gone- no more shaking, sweats, anxiety, irritability. I did not even know that there was an emotional component until it disappeared.

I was formally diagnosed over fifteen years ago, when I fainted quite a few times. But was told to eat carbs- all the time! No sugar, alcohol or white carbs now and I finally have it under control.

I feel like I've been given a second chance at life.

Lessons & tips: Sometimes there is another cause to behavior- it was for me. It's not always 'in your head' or just a bad habit.

Resources: Southbeach diet.
