    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    OK thanks, I think I get it. Basically no matter where I go, the best thing I can do is monitor my glucose levels and figure out how to keep them stable. Pretty much just what I have been doing so far? :)

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    Thanks for the input Kaz I appreciate it. I reckon I'll wind up doing something similar. With the insight I am learning now it seems doable to control my energy in much the same way you too. I will seek an initial consultation during my next trip just in case. :)

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    Actually I have some coconut oil in the fridge atm. I have a friend nearby that went on a pure ketones diet too and it has helped him tremendously, so the idea isn't entirely foreign to me. While I am obviously lacking a proper medical examination it seems that in the end, I'll be best of...

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    but there is so much to learn about. It's overwhelming, and you know, when my glucose is so low I really just don't have the energy >_> <_<

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    Interesting... Is there such a thing as a home insulin meter? I hadn't considered the possibility of my being diabetic due to (until today) my consistently low glucose levels. I understand from the link you provided that the pre-diagnosis phase of people with T2D is high levels of insulin...

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    I do some technical analysis on forex and crypto markets. It's a bit obvious but based on my chart analysis I have a high likelihood of stabilizing back up around 4.5~ish. Just a bit of fun :)

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    whoa *** is happening? Sleep deprivation is pretty normal for me although these days I do less all-nighters. Went to sleep at 6am and got up at 11.30am and was happy to see no significant impact on my glucose levels. That is... until I drank some all natural squeezed mango juice which spiked...

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    Yea that's what I thought (hypoglycemia and not reactive hypoglycemia) too. After briefly checking out this forum though the community seems great and I figured I'd come along and join you all anyway ;) I hear what you're all saying about the need to see a specialist. I will definitely seek...

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    I did a fair amount of testing today and have found it extremely interesting. After learning that I am probably hypoglycemic, much of my tastes, cravings, mood and energy patterns can be interpreted in a way that was not possible before. Perhaps most importantly I can already sense that it is...

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    I can't really afford the downtime to take care and do this safely-ish right now so I think I'll hold off on any serious testing until a get a bit of a holiday to work with. (or better - return to the UK). I do appreciate the knowledge being shared though, it's good to get a better...

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    Hah! I remember Locozade. Haven't seen that in aaaages. It was never very nice... Just did a search online and it doesn't bode well for Rapilose availability. Though it may well be available under a local language name. I'll have to see what I can dig up.

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    This is really helpful! Thank you! Before this last week, I did not consume a lot of sugars. I only started recently as an experiment to see if it makes me feel better. It does, but loading up on sugar all the time seems a bit dumb. I'll dig into the forum more as per your suggestion and...

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    Yea, this is exactly it. It takes a lot of time for knowledge from well trained people to filter down through the mix of guesswork, nonsense or even outright wickedness that pervades in some places. It is not to suggest that mistakes don't happen in seemingly developed countries, it's just...

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    Interesting.. So are you suggesting I record multiple readings after my meals for up to 4 hours, or record the blood glucose level 4 hours after I finish eating? Forgive my ignorance. :)
