:evil: He's still fedup and ratty as hell. His breakfast is the same thing every day and yet today his reading went up - from 6.2 yesterday to 10.7 today. Same time, same food.
I am getting mixed up with low carb / low GI.
And finally, wee bit worried because his breath smells and he has absolutely no energy at all, this just over a week into the new diet. Is this ok ? No acetone smell, just foul.
 
An od reading at breakfast ould be related to the meal the night before.
High Blood Glucose makes most people lethargic and feeling unwell. This can easily lead to bad temper.
 
Hana, what would cause bad breath ? he's never had this before.. it's not acetoney at all, its jsut foul.
 
How about dehydration? If he has not been drinking as much as he should this could cause bad breath.
 
Thanks pet. I cant get my head round that difference as yet, I seem to be a total halfwit. But I 'll get there. No option eh !
 
I tend to agree with Sue about dehydration, with a low carb diet you would need to below 30g carbs per day to enter ketosis, which has been seen to cause bad breath in 40% of people on ketogenic diets. As you say the OHs breath has no acetone smell I would rule out Low Carb being responsible.
Make sure he is getting enough fluids.

From this website,Though it is not an oral hygiene problem certain things can help banish bad breath or at least mask the odour.

Drink more water.

Chew sugarless gum.

Suck on sugarless mints. In particular, those that contain Xylitol also kill bacteria and can prevent cavities.

I have ordered Xylitol, think it might cheer him up if he can sweeten his tea again . He is very miserable. Is this common, yes ?
 
Ming.

Are you asking us is your husband miserable ?

OR

Are you asking us is he miserable because he has no sweetener in his tea ?

Think the answer in both cases could be YES. However, I should get a professional opinion if I
was you. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just read your sig. I blame the husband. I was normal before he started this !! :mrgreen:
I will go and lie down with a cold compress on my head and a warm cat on my chest, and think calming thoughts. OHmmmmmmmmmmmm :twisted:
