I get it now and then and more so of late.
I've just been diagnosed with sarcoidosis and this apparently might be to blame but Brunnerias post about medication got me thinking about an experience today.
I've been to hospital today so a camera crew could go up my bottom.
I had to drink paint stripper yesterday to remove any foodstuffs in there so haven't eaten since 8am yeasterday until 11.30a. m today.
I've had no medication either.
Blood pressure bang on perfect.
Blood sugars 5.6 this morning at 7a.m and fallen to just 4.3 before the camera crew went in.
How my blood glucaose has stayed that stable I don't know.
No food for over twenty four hours survived on green tea and drinking Bovril.
Had half a cup of Lucozade about midnight topped up with half a cup of water ... simply because I don't like fizzy drinks nd especially Lucozade.
But such good numbers n B.P and Sugar levels without medication.
Amazing.
Hmmm.
Very curious! I think i might be doing some food intolerance testing.
You can ask your doc, who will probably laugh at you.
You can pay through the nose to get it done privately.
Or you can do it yourself.
- go on an exclusion diet for... 3 weeks ish (I think)
Then reintroduce the food, with careful testing of bg and bp before, during and after.
It wont produce any evidence that would stand up in a doc's surgery, but you may find it very illuminating.
Doing this is what convinced me to avoid all grains, because even small amounts (e.g. A single slice of wholemeal bread) will send my bg up ridiculously. While the same g of potato will have a fraction of the effect.
