[QUOTE="AZEric, post: 2292850, member: 528381"] Yes, its been very frustrating navigating the lack of nutritional training that doctors dont receive. Many of them would tell me that diet has nothing to do with it, but I would challenge them with "well why dont diabetics eat tons of sugar, and cardiac patients dont eat salt" and they'll get mad at me. A carb is definitely a carb, and when I have more than 20 a day, I am miserable. People need to understand that this is not a dangerous thing, outside of what the stress does to organs, which is not good. Like, I've never passed out, or ended up in an ER for this, but it sure as heck feels like you will when it happens. I've always been very involved with my health, so I have an entire kit for ensuring that I am OK when it happens. Blood Pressure cuffs, Oximeters, Blood sugar meters, Blood ketone meters, Etc. The gamut. And I track my vitals. Keto has helped tremendously, as has the lexapro for anxiety and depression. It was a deep dark hole spiral when I first got diagnosed, and even worse prior. I developed health anxiety/hypochondria from all of this, so now I'm doing therapy for that. I don't know if this can ever be reversed, so I'm just going to live, and whatever happens happens.
