[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1798032, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=475233]@Ivey[/USER] and welcome to the forum. As you have discovered, we all have a variant of RH, that I believe everyone has a different tolerance to carbs, protein and fat, finding that balance to what suits you, is the most important factor in how we deal with the symptoms and condition. Yours was because of your gastric surgery, mine was I believe a bacterial infection in my stomach, but that is speculation. However finding the reason and having the knowledge in how best to cope. Fats, have been discussed widely on the open forum, for how much you should have, I began, just upping my saturated fat and avoiding vegetable oils. They I found was giving me symptoms and were not healthy for me, I found the oils distorted my readings, so I decided then that only saturated fats were in my food, and how I cook with them. I got much lower readings this way. I have always believed that having a little bit more than you used to have to slowly build up your body to accept the natural saturated fats. You have to remember that low fat foods have the good natural saturated fats taken out, and production sugars are introduced for taste. Eating every three hours is the recognised standard treatment for any form of RH. This is to prevent the hypos from occurring. But I have found that being in ketosis is the only way to prevent hypos. If you trigger the insulin response from your meals, that will give you the overshoot you don't need or want. No hyper, no hypo! When you start eating in the morning, you are starting the rollercoaster of blood glucose levels, you have started the day in normal levels, you have not had food during the night, why do you need to eat so often?, again you eat, so the advice to eat every three hours, but if you eat and don't trigger the insulin response, you don't need to eat every three hours. I have found that I can fast most of the day and eat Keto, and I have not had a hypo since my last eOGTT, over four years ago. I should say that I'm not an expert on how those who have had surgery should approach their dietary intake, but from a RH patient who has no problem with his health, maybe a little bit more experimentation and recording may be needed to stop that rollercoaster. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
