[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1870816, member: 85785"] Do you mean post prandial RH? If so, in my case, if I eat too many carbs (not much), the glucose derived is what quickly spikes my BG. Which means I have a weak initial insulin response. My pancreas reacts, due to the surge in BG, after about just under an hour, the secondary insulin response overshoot, causes my BG to drop eventually into Hypoglycaemic range. So the best treatment for my type of hypoglycaemia is not to trigger the secondary insulin response, by not causing the spike in glucose, by avoiding the foods that do this, hence, a glucometer and lots of testing and a food diary. My body is healthiest when my BG is in normal levels consistently. When first diagnosed, your body would still be liable to high circulating insulin, high insulin resistance, because the excess insulin, causes insulin resistance and your liver to be fatty, it's the only way it can cope, hence the visceral fat, if you have weight problems. Being very low carb and eating healthy for you, will reduce the insulin resistance and insulin levels. The weird thing for me, when I was struggling before diagnosis, my BG rose to just over 31, this was because my insulin levels caused this. I adjusted my diet again! Then again after diagnosis. My so called healthy diet was making me worse, porridge, baked potatoes, low GI carbs were making me ill. If you sum it up, what you eat, can make you very ill. With RH it is really important to find which foods do this. Your fat issues, will become less of an issue after a time, I wouldn't go to obsessive, you just have to be careful, at hidden ingredients, as I found out with potato starch, vegetable oils and fruit. My dairy intolerance would be a problem with the peanut butter, butter and cooked vegetables, yuk,! Keep asking, knowing how and why is important. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
