My concern is that when I was in ketosis, I felt very weak and thought I was going to pass out.. My own conclusion is that for me, the middle way was best for me. I feel calm and lucid just like you...... just not knackered all the time! I have also learned that ketosis can put a strain on the liver and kidneys.
Hyperglycemia did cause headaches and memory loss. In fact it was so bad that my GP initially thought I had a brain tumour and sent me to the local hospital for an MRI scan which, thankfully, revealed no such problems. It was the accompanying blood test that diagnosed the diabetes. Also, hyperglycemia made me aggressive and, in some cases, abusive which is not like me at all.
I think it is important for people to try different strategies to see what works for them. For me, going from a hyper- to a near hypoglycemic state simply replaced one set of problems with another.
I am now on a low carbohydrate, low GI diet, with the majority of the carbs consumed at breakfast which sets me up for the day. Like most things, balance is the key.
