My lifepartner has some of the same bloodsugar metabolism issues, although after a long period spent on a severe low-carbohydrate diet, things were a lot better for her, even after leaving the diet.

One important issue to keep in mind is the distinction between simple and complex carbs; sugar will burn off quickly yielding a spike, followed by a secondary crash while starches have a slower burn and will stick with you longer.

Speaking of burn rate, didn't fuckedcompany have an "Aeron chair index"? It was based on the theory that the more Aeron chairs a dotcom had, the more quickly it would burn though it's VC money...
