[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2284120, member: 85785"] Through it all, I have depended on my experience, my research and my blood glucose monitor to get at the truth, of what happens when I eat! I do believe that most dietary/medical advice is well intentioned and a good healthy nutritional diet is the best any medical practitioner can give to a normal healthy non diabetic. But for someone like me, who is definitely non diabetic, but is prone to hypos, this normal healthy diet, is what was killing me! I have believed for a long time now, that a tailored dietary intake is more important than any drugs, exercise and 'a healthy diet'! During my first eOGTT, the sister and house doctor insisted on giving me food and drink because I was going hypo, as a T1 or T2! They didn't understand what or why I was going hypo every few hours, if they didn't understand, how can you not try and do something that should work and be safe,? Than do things that they haven't been trained for! A saying from my childhood- ' If you don't know, you don't know! Ask someone who does! Stay safe [/QUOTE]
