[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1624831, member: 355878"] I am pretty certain that the two long bouts of illness and antibiotics not working when I was in my teens and early twenties started me on the path to diabetes. I used to have what I now know were hypoglycemic symptoms in mid afternoons which I am sure affected my exam results, and caused me trouble at work. I went low carb out of necessity, despite opposition as everyone knew how essential carbohydrate is for good health - even though it was killing me. On low carb I was fine, full of energy and no afternoon 'crashes'. When I was diagnosed a year ago I was eating my meals fairly close together, and that brought back the same symptoms. When I ate earlier in the day and later in the evening with most of the carbs at dinner time the lows went away. I was never diagnosed with RH and was never given a blood test for diabetes until it was done accidentally in place of my annual thyroid check. I was 65 at the time. Rather than the dense carbs I would recommend a dessert such as Greek yogurt with berries or desiccated coconut added and left to stand for a few minutes. I get frozen fruit mixes so I can keep the portions to what I can handle and not waste any. [/QUOTE]
