[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2634592, member: 85785"] Maybe I didn't explain it so well, I do get what you are saying and I agree to some extent. That is why I mentioned bread. So many variants, different outcomes, but carb laden. Spuds are worse than bread, bread is worse than pasta and so on but they all cause the reaction. And it is a journey of discovery. I once tried a German bread, that my endocrinologist recommended, that he believed would not trigger a reaction, if I had some fatty meat with it! The portion was bite size and the carb count was under 20g. I still had a reaction. I swerved the hypo, but the spike was around 9 mmols! My lowest spike for a reaction is around 7.7mmols (ish) forty five minutes after, which is not particularly high. So it makes sense to me to stay below 7mmols all the time. But other than my health and anxiety issues when I did succumb to temptation, I am now and have in or near ketosis since diagnosis a decade ago! I have lost three kilo in six weeks and I do feel better for it! It's not easy and simple especially with Mrs L and her disability, and having to be her carer, my other conditions and behaving myself. Coping with all that was the reason for falling off the wagon, it was too much! But there is only me! And I will battle through this, like I have all my life. RH is a continuous battle and a journey to educate yourself in medical consequences of not having much information or research and not many professional health specialists who have ever diagnosed it thoroughly. I was so lucky to have found one! I'm stopping now! Having a salad for my one meal today! Best wishes [/QUOTE]
