I'm confused about keto/vs lower carb. Surely if you simply lower your carb intake, as I have done today, but not enough to get into ketosis you're just going to starve yourself?

I'm not very good at communicating on internet forums, nor liking individual posts etc, but I am very grateful for the responses and support. I've been struggling with this over the past month really badly. Even though the symptoms don't seem to be any worse than they ever were (and i'm not...

I want to try making some of this, to wean myself off regular bread. The recipes mention cream cheese, but all i can find is soft cheese like Philadelphia. This stuff also has some carbs in it, is that a problem? Thanks

YW. I assume it's an american article, though i don't know for sure. How does one treat a false hypo? I'm not sure my readings confirm that as 3.3 and 3.6 (the two readings i have that are in the hypo range, according to the meter) are low. The whole thing is honestly incredibly tiring and...

Thanks. I've no idea of the veracity of the article, but it seemed to come from a source that understood keto. I thought post prandial and reactive were the same thing, one just being the medical term. What is the condition that has the same symptoms but without the actual hypo crash? Sorry...

the readings in the 4's didn't feel too great. these aren't just readings, they are accompanied by some feelings/symptoms. If i'd felt fine yesterday, i wouldn't have tested. It was only because i could sense onset of symptoms. I have to say i'm not sure I'm convinced by the point about...

it just sounds like reactive hypoglycemia. I'm sure some people with it react faster/slower.

I am 43/male. I've been dealing with this for i'd say at least 15 years. the doctor record sme being tested about ten years ago. I am not aware of anything hormone-related, but I don't know if they checked this. They've repeatedly ruled out diabetes, i've mentioned doing the glucose test which...

I tested upon waking and usually before eating - ie when i started feeling hungry after the last meal. I don't usually feel hungry/hypo upon waking, although the glucose level averages about 5.5. Waiting until symptoms or hunger is how i've been testing. Low results coincide with symptoms. Last...

I've tested during the night several times, there was no low readings at all. Night is never normally a problem for me, only a couple of times a year will i feel compelled to eat. I might not sleep well (which is why i'm able to wake up), but hypo isn't the issue there. The symptoms aren't...

Thank you. I read that if you ease into it, you are worse off in that it takes longer to achieve ketosis, which means longer experiencing all the problems related to glucose. I'm trying to do that, but it's not easy. I've just had breakfast of a small portion of kale (i don't have enough to...

3.3, which was yesterday.

How to survive drastically cutting carbs and putting the body into ketosis while hypoglycemic? One article on keto eating said that it made things worse. http://www.ketogenic-diet-resource.com/reactive-hypoglycemia.html

Hello, sorry for not responding. I have been doing my best to get past this issue but I don't think the GP really listens. I have not really moderated my diet and I'm struggling with the idea of keto. I'm very frightened of the induction phase, particularly with respect to already suffering low...

That wasn't her comments verbatim. She was simply explaining that the tests didn't reveal anything problematic.

I saw another dr who's arranging a referral to an endocrinologist. She took a blood glucose reading as my appointment was early and i didn't have time to eat. It was 5.6. She is going to try and get me a measuring kit. The blood tests taken the other day revealed nothing unusual and came back ok.

I've just had an awful nights sleep, or lack thereof. I will try and get an urgent appointment today. If I tell the number, what more will they do than tell me to eat something sweet?

I did tell her, i just didn't say the number.

I'm afraid i've had this since before wednesday. I sufer from stress and anxiety anyway, there may be a connection.

I had an evening meal of cooked chicken leg portion and vegetables, no carbs. I get hungry around 8-9pm so I had a sandwich of wholeweat bread cheese and a couple of slices of cooked sausage. I'm going to have the same right now. It may be possible that reading was wrong. I don't know.
