[QUOTE="mahorela, post: 1032041, member: 252561"] Thanks [USER=85785]@nosher8355[/USER], I definitely need to do some more tests. According to my test results "All values are within normal limits" hopefully my GP has the foresight to realise that no, these aren't normal results. Apparently, 3.6 is considered the lowest possible value in the normal range, in my estimations with my own meter, I am feeling neuropathy and neurological symptoms in the low 4's. That Dr Kraft interview is astonishing, really opened my eyes. My takeaways from it are that very little can be determined from testing glucose levels and that a 5 hour insulin response test is needed in any case, HR or diabetes. I will be pushing to get this test done, but as they stated and I can attest to, getting doctors out of their comfort zone is very difficult. One thing that really stood out to me was the connection between Meniere's disease and blood sugar, I have been diagnosed by an ENT specialist as having Meniere's disease due to gait and neuropathy problems and fullness in my inner ear, tinnitus etc. Some months/years ago I realised that this wasn't the case and I was misdiagnosed, but interesting how metabolic dysfunction and Menieres symptoms are related. The super starch looks great but 25 serves for $84 (aud) and only lasts for 2-4 hours?? A little too rich for my blood. It seems low carb is the key to RH, Diabetes and probably every other metabolic problem. Funnily enough (lol) I can go into ketosis with the greatest of ease, I cut out carbs for 2 days and used a test strip yesterday and was at 4 mmol ketones. Thanks very much to everyone who has commented, i really appreciate the help in trying to get my head around this complicated problem. As I said earlier in the thread, I can remember having hypo symptoms as early as 7 years old. Could I ask when/how you guys remember this starting for you? [/QUOTE]
