[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 964882, member: 85785"] Potatoes are my nemesis, as well as any grains. If you do have RH, you will be reluctant to eat anything at all that gives you even a little spike. I have lived to do without them baddies, as I've said being RH makes me have an allergic reaction to anything that turns to glucose in your blood. Once you in control and have your hypo awareness, any fluctuating blood glucose levels will give you symptoms. You will have symptoms that you are probably unaware of! Yes, it is that life changing! I will have to eat like this until my pancreas gives up. You do need to think about this very carefully!!! There is one other thing that I forgot to mention. That is eat little and often, this will counteract the hypo. Small plate size and low carb, little meals throughout the day! I do eat about 6-8 very small meals, even if it is just a bite of meat or a couple of spoons of full fat yoghurt. Full fat is so important when low carbing as well as eating animal fats instead of oils when you cook! Have a read of the low carb forum for ideas. Oh yeah, I should warn you how to treat a hypo. If you feel that you are going too low, test, then get yourself a cuppa, tea or coffee, and a couple of plain biscuits. Eat one and then your bloods will rise slowly, then a little while later say 15 minutes, then have a very low carb meal. You should feel better. If you get a hypo never treat it with glucose or any sugary glucose drink or starchy, food. What will happen, is that you will spike and hypo again, like a yo yo! That will bring back the symptoms. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
