Hi folks well let me tell you our story... 10 years ago my husband was very poorly with a bug called giardia, after which he started having "funny" turns, all the symptoms of RH. He also has now been diagnosed with early onset dementia triggered they think by the bug.(he is now 60)
I say our story as I am T2 diabetic and after my husband being ill for 6 years we finally saw an endocrinologist today that confirmed he has RH!!! I told them so ages ago but they said he's not diabetic so basically go away you don't know what your talking about. You would not believe the sigh of relief in that office this morning. She did say he is to have a glucose tolerance test but is pretty sure RH is his problem.
Earlier this year i did try very hard with low carbing but sadly fell off the wagon so to speak :-( Now it would appear to improve hubby's health and well being WE both would benefit from low carbing. It has got to be a good thing right? So how on earth am I going to get him off white bread,cakes,biscuits and energy drinks and sweeties??? He has always been a big meat and cheese man so that is not a problem. Are we doomed to a life of green veg and steak??? haha
