[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1540638, member: 85785"] Yes, eating low carb will not only work for blood glucose issues but has effect on most endocrine conditions if you get your balance of foods right. It might still be RH, but another type of with another condition as most hormonal imbalances will cause the symptoms. It is a minefield to know what to do when not diagnosed. The body adapts but some times is fooled by the brain for needing glucose, hence the signals you are having which is symptomatic of RH. Even after diagnosis, being aware of what is your intolerance and susceptibility to some foods will help you. Knowledge is the key to being healthy. My issues with food intolerance has given me my recipe of intermittent fasting and very low carbing, has enabled me to get fitter. Even just walking more at a sedate pace will help with blood levels. I enjoy fasting, it was critical in my diagnosis and showed me that my body is not dependent on eating all the time, every day three, four times a day and even more if my doctors and dieticians had their way. Eating every three hours is doable, but it has to be really small meals or a bite or two of food. It's not right. We can adapt to eat when we want to. Not our brains telling us because of our blood glucose levels. I recognise that fasting for some is impossible, but having that fasting test with the eOGTT. Will give your specialist the tools to give you a diagnosis. We are designed to fast. Also your c-peptide and insulin levels test should be done. Ask what tests are being done and ask for a print out. A full blood panel should be done! It will eliminate or confirm what your pancreas is doing, why the excess insulin, and the fluctuations in blood levels. Let us know how you get on. Best wishes and good luck for your tests. [/QUOTE]
