[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1648327, member: 459333"] It sounds a serious enough situation that I'm a bit worried about offering advice, but I know what it's like to have a (much less serious) problem where the advice from GPs doesn't help, or they don't know what the problem is. So I'll phrase this carefully: If I was in your position and *had* to try to resolve this myself, all I know from myself is that, depending on what I've been doing over the previous days / weeks, I can either tolerate a lot of carbs, or as little as around 6 grams can give me a huge and long-lasting spike. So *I* would try starting to build up my carb tolerance in *very* small increments. How many carbs in 100g white beans? 20 or more? If that can cause me big trouble, I can imagine it causing you big trouble in your current state. *I* would dedicate an entire day to sitting down with a glucose meter, taking a reading every 2 hours, in between each reading eating 1g, 2g, 4g, 8g, 16 g etc of carbs and see what happens. At the very least, the results would be something to show a GP or specialist. Only if I couldn't get medical help initially. [/QUOTE]
