[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 28500, member: 8110"] Just to make life more confusing, there are other metabolic errors, which aren't truly diabetes, but have similar properties, these include reactive hypglycaemia, which causes low BGs, often a sudden drop soon after eating. You say your Bgs are averaging 8. Whatever the cause, this is too high. You should be able to get it down by severe cutting back of carbohydrate intake. It's simple. If it contains a significant proportion of carbohydrate, say more than 1 -2 % Don't eat it. Essentially, if you follow the Atkins diet Induction phase for a week or so, you should feel a lot better. This will work even for T1, but obviously not as well as proper treatment with insulin. I suggest Atkins, because it will work for you and the book is easy to get hold of. Don't worry about the high fats. They won't hurt you. Although you could report to an A&E department, it would be better if you walked in of your own choice, rather than be stretchered in as an emergency. Good luck and I hope they sort you out soon Hana [/QUOTE]
