I had 45g uncooked weight of the rice. So not a huge portion that I would have had back in the day! But certainly more than the none or one mouthful I would allow myself nowadays. I didn't test again after the 4.7 as within 10 mins I was feeling much better so I assumed that was the low and my...

I'm keeping a strict food diary and blood sugar diary this week while I'm trialling the reintroduction of low GI carbs (at my drs request). This is following my low carb diet I've been doing since November so to be fair my body isn't used to carbs so I guess it may settle down in time. This...

Since this is the first time testing my blood sugars I thought I'd ask... Had 9.6 45 mins post meal (which is when I seem to peak), then 9.1 at 60 mins post meal to check whether it was still going up. Just checked again now because I Im starting to feel rough and it's 4.7 30 mins later. So...

I'll try and keep this brief... I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia approx 10 years ago with an extended glucose tolerance test and was advised small, regular low GI meals as the way to manage symptoms. I've gone back to my gp this week as it's been getting worse this last year and I've...
