That is the way I've controlled my condition, that is how I've stopped having hypos. I repeat, I'm carb intolerant, my body cannot control the sudden change in high glucose from any form of carbs. And this triggers the overshoot of insulin, that is the cause of the hypos.We are all different with the same condition and depending on how much you are carb intolerant, the results, symptoms and blood sugar levels will be after carbs.You do have to find that balance of protein, fats and whatever carbs you can eat.I discovered long ago, that I'm a carnivore and protein from meat and the good saturated fats from meat are how I know what to eat and how much.I also have quite a good amount of above ground salad vegetables with my protein.The best advice from someone who has gone through the rollercoaster ride of RH is to keep testing and recording, gain the knowledge how food affects you, and avoid the carbs that trigger the symptoms. A very low carb diet is the best lifestyle choice.It has certainly worked for me!Best wishes</blockquote>
