You can do your own version of a Kraft test using blood glucose and ketone test strips. Do a fasting test on waking, a pre meal check then after you have eaten wait 30 mins and the take a reading every 30 mins until 5 hours is up or you get a sugar crash at 3.9mmol. You have to keep testing...

I know what you mean. Everything has been so much effort this year. Can't go anywhere without booking ahead etc, so most of the time not bothered. Looking forward to Christmas too but will be different in many ways and hope to keep the carbs low. Best keep the potatoes to a minimum [emoji16]Take...

Thanks so much for your help and encouragement. I hope you are feeling a bit better yourself now.

Hi All, Interesting to readback on my posts from a few months ago and I have learned a lot. Well I tried a cgm (free style libre) and the results have been interesting. It too am very spikey with potatoes (probably my worst food), corn and rice. Wheat doesn't seem that bad. As long as I keep...

Thank you for your support. I felt rubbish all day with migraine. Still not great now but I think it did help getting in with the 15:15 quick, but once that dip had started the migraine couldn't be reversed just managed for intensity. Sometimes it not a headache but what is called a silent...

Hi All, this week I have been having a low carb breakfast of 2 slices of hi lo bread with a nut butter. I then set a stop watch and ate something else by 1.5 hours or so after. At this time I had some coconut vanilla yoghurt (made from coconut not dairy) with some chia seeds and bit of fruit. So...

As mentioned previously I may check out a CGM to get to where I need to be a bit quicker? Not sure how I would cope with all the finger pricks. I think I saw that you can just buy the sensor to put in your arm and then it connects to an app on your mobile, so you don;t have to buy the monitor...

Hi All, so I got through yoga and migraine free so far today.:happy: Just had a snack 2hr 20min after breakfast to see me through till lunch (half piece rye bread and cottage cheese). Usually I love a salty caramel hot choc afterwards just on a Sunday morning as a treat but ditched it recently...

Hiya,Thank you for your suggestions. I am logging the time between my last meal and breakfast to see if this has any impact on getting a migraine. I might be able to gradually push it longer and see what happens. The bedtime snack is also a question of whether i should have this or not, so again...

Thanks for your suggestions. I do think they are are build up of many things but for me I feel main triggers are the low blood sugar, followed by hormones (apparently when they fluctuate) and them possibly sleep and stress and possibly weather pressure changes. I avoid citrus to especially any...

Thank you so much for that. Yes I'm aware of the coffee chocolate thing, and some others on your list, I have tried most but strangely enough I don't have the caffeine as I don't tolerate it well, but when I do get a migraine its one of my first go to's and sometimes it does help to shift it if...

Thank you for the responses. I will check out a BG monitor as it might be that I'm Ok with some things and not others, so I can carry on and not exclude those with no reaction, though I guess different combo's may caused different reactions. As mentioned in my post I can't do keto even though...

Hiya, I'm new to the site after searching the internet for an answer to my almost daily migraines starting around the same time each day. It's looking like I could be Reactive Hypoglycemic. I haven't been to have any medical test, but trying to manage myself by diet and its proving a bit hit and...

Reactive Hypoglycemia?
