@nosher8355 wow, that is great news that you have had permanent normal levels. Well done! I have read a fair amount from all sorts of areas on the Internet and there does seem to be much uncertainty about RH and how to manage it. I have read all about carbs with meals In fact my daughters diabetic team nurse said that " oh your mum will have to eat carbs now" my most up to date understanding is to eat protein and cut down the carbs. So much conflicting advice eh!
Oh yeah!
@Smamfa!
If you read any medical site, they always insist you eat carbs.
But that is what we can't eat! Or very little!
Our pancreas produces too much insulin because of the fast use of glucose. The excess insulin drops our blood glucose levels into hypo. The hypos and hypers, fluctuating blood glucose levels give us our horrific hypo hell symptoms.
The only thing that works is not having many and replacing carbs with full fats.
It sounds horrible, and it goes against everything we have been told about eating healthy!
They are not healthy!
It's the same for Diabetics, especially T2s!
You need to be in complete control of your bloods, so you can feel as good as I do!
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for this website.
Read the low carb forum, it has great ideas and recipes. Just to give you an idea.
There is a link in
@Brunneria signature box that is very good as an introduction to low carb, I'm certain she will post the link.
There is also a link below my post, about RH for beginners.
it was not a shock really as I had tried to diagnose myself over the last 6 months ( while various tests were being performed) and I got a definitive answer this week. My daughter has Type 1 diabetes (16 years old diagnosed when 5 years) however RH is somewhat different eh!
