[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 44944, member: 11875"] Have a read around here [url=http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/2006/10/d-day.html]http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/2006/10/d-day.html[/url] particularly what he writes about "grazing" What you mainly need to avoid is large quantities of carbs at any one time, but you may need more than some of the ultra low carbers only spread out during the day, only testing your own responses can determine your specific diet. What you need to do is avoid doing the highs after eating: once you have them under control the lows will largely go away on their own. You'll probably also have to be wary of differing levels of exercise, and at different times of day. For example, I can do around 15g carbs at breakfast - much more than him - but I can only do 30g in the evening, or 50g on occasion, he can do more. I tend to eat plenty of protein especially at breakfast, and loads of salad and vegetables, and especially fish. White meat is generally good, I seem able to do red meat and saturated fats without the problems others get. But then I don't eat eggs (don;t like the taste, I prefer to wait until they grew up). Cheese and nuts and berries are OK, I also need to be careful with other forms of fruit but you may find some don;t spike you as much as others. When I'm busy I will tend to snack on mixed things like an oatcake with nut butter or cheese (and blueberries!) or ryebread and butter, so I'm getting small quantities of carbs diluted with plenty of fat and protein but over time I'm finding my BG has become much more stable with less snacking required. Many "authorities" refuse to believe this is a real illness, until it has progressed as far as a true diabetes diagnosis, but all the reactive hypoglycemics I know, and a small but significant number of Type 2s, appear to have symptoms going back to childhood, and the treatment is exactly the same as for diabetes proper: control your carb input to prevent BG changes. The sooner you start the more likely you are to slow or stop the progression. You may incidentally find your ADD symptoms improve significantly also: my depression did too. [/QUOTE]
