[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1648377, member: 459333"] I can't stress enough that this is what *I* would do if I either could not get medical help, or attempting to follow the medical advice was making me ill but nobody was willing to put me in hospital to observe me. I'd like to be in the company of at least one person who could take me to hospital quickly if need be, and I'd tell them what I was doing. I'd first decide the testing schedule. I'd go for: Take 3 readings. Eat 1g carbs, Wait 2 hours. Take 3 readings. Eat 2g carbs, Wait 2 hours. Take 3 readings. Eat 4g carbs, Wait 2 hours. Take 3 readings. Eat 8g carbs, Wait 2 hours. Take 3 readings. Eat 16g carbs, Wait 2 hours. Take 3 readings. Eat 32g carbs, Wait 2 hours. Take 3 readings. (3 readings and average each time because of the meter's inaccuracy - likely to obliterate my data with noise at least for the first few sittings). So that's 6 intakes of food. How many calories did I eat yesterday? Let's say 1,500, so aim for the same today. So each sitting, I'd have about 250 calories from protien and fat, the ratio of which I'd keep in line with a "very low carbohydrate" diet which you've been on, so about 20% protein, 80% fat (adjusting the carbs out, by necessity). Add the appropriate amount of carbs for the current sitting. That's potentially going to be useful data for a medical person, and may even give me guidance on my current carb tolerance. If I can handle 8g well but things go crazy at 16 for example (it will only be rough because the 16g spike may be affected by a higher starting point due to the 8g spike not having finished yet). Then I'd stick to 8g per meal the next day, and see if I can handle even more the day after. If. I. Can't. Get. Medical. Help! :) [/QUOTE]
