What do people think about using stevia or Agave nectar etc? I haven't tested yet but wonder if others have found that it still triggers symptoms?

Yes thanks eggs are fine. I think it's whey and lactose unfortunately that are the problem though, after trying lactose free products and the new A2 milk recommended by a consultant some time ago. I do appreciate everyone's encouragement it's been a tough struggle these past years and I really...

Thank you, I saw this too and am when am I eventually given a new appointment with an Endocrinologist, going to ask about it, I also wonder about what @LamontD was referring to previously about other conditions with similar symptoms.

Thanks for your help but I already take pregabalin for fibromyalgia so maybe not good to take anything else? I'm not really stressed, just frustrated. I'm interested in why you think I may be stressed though?

I'm not sure why but the fast was far from therapeutic for me, I would be really wary if anyone else is asked to try to do it. I have tried the coconut oil today and will continue to see how it works. I have made my own snack bars with it in the past with chocolate and peanuts and desiccated...

I am dairy intolerant so don't really have that option, I presume soya cheese won't count! I have been eating a teaspoon of cold pressed coconut oil after reading that it may help. I didn't find my fried egg and bacon very satisfying, I really missed the carbs and have had to eat 2 slices of...

Thank you for your reply. However I'm not more comfortable yet! This afternoon hasn't been good trying to cut down on a few carbs at each meal but my heads aching now I'm fuzzy and hungry within two hours and according to the monitor I'm fine at 6.2 and just about to eat my 6.00 meal of salmon...

Thank you for your help everyone. I feel like the mist is gradually clearing already. Still a lot of work to do and things to understand. Seems silly but what is "normal range" for blood glucose levels please? I thought it was 4 - 6. After my first meal this morning I went from 5.7 to 7.3...

He said I didn't have a rumour on my pancreas, I went down to 2.9 but not any lower which meant I wasn't clinically in trouble . Spent most of the time around 3 to 4. I think I had. Ketones in my urine on the lsat day but I don't know the readings. The next couple of days I was really ill, my...

I think I understand what you are saying and it appears to make sense. I was thinking the same thing and will attempt some testing at the weekend. Today I ate a tuna and avocado salad for lunch at 1pm and left out my normal slice of bread. i ate carrot sticks when I was hungry by 3pm with the...

Thank you Lamont D. I think I must be different though as I can't go without food. My symptoms come on, headache, cold hands, brain fog, stomach churning, in fact I wake up like that every day without fail. I eat some toast with peanut butter and an hour or so later another slice with egg and...

Thank you so much for replying. Yes and I was told where poss 1/3 each low GI carbs, protein and leafy greens/veg which I do for 3 meals but the snack in between might be 2 oatcakes and peanut butter, wholemeal seeded toast and nut butters, Eat Natural Protein bar so no veg with those as I...

Hi there. I'm not sure if anyone can help me. I have been struggling with sugar fluctuations for nearly 4 years, I'm 55 next week. My endocrinologist said that I am not clinically RH but should follow the advice given as if I were. Despite eating at least 6 small meals a day, steering clear...
