[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1142801, member: 85785"] Having read through your posts, you certainly do know what foods are causing your hypos, and even if you do not know the cause, keeping yourself as well as possible is your main goal. Yes, I think that it is time to get another opinion, another endocrinologist who knows how to get a true diagnosis of what is happening to you. I have a wonderful endo in Manchester, [USER=220096]@Linagirl[/USER] has him as well. Believe it or not some foods are poisonous, especially potatoes! They do seem to cause some dieticians some obvious discomfort especially when you say to them, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole now! If you know what foods you're body can't tolerate why do the doctors say eat them? We are not normal, we are weird! So why do we have to eat normal? Eating weird and not having poisons (for us (carbs) weirdos) is how we relieve our bodies of the hyperinsulinaemia (excess insulin) that causes our hypos! And all the nasty symptoms that it causes if not in control! One thing I learned from all my prolonged oral glucose tests is that if you spike, you hypo! If you don't spike, the excess insulin is not necessary and you don't spike, ergo no hypo! That is logical and my endocrinologist agrees, though he says very little carbs are important, don't know why, but I'm not a doctor, I'm only a RH er, who knows what has given me my life back. I'm fit and healthy and working full time and not going anywhere anytime soon. Looking not to retire or give up my great life! I have battled for over a decade with doctors to get someone who recognised my condition, it is no surprise to me that these things take time, Specialist endocrinologists are thin on the ground concerning blood glucose disorders. You just have to grind and battle and do the things that work for you! Never give up, always try to be positive, you can learn so much from your experience. And we would appreciate your views on our little weirdo community! [/QUOTE]
