[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2517448, member: 85785"] Hi again, if you were already experiencing symptoms before surgery, then the likelihood that surgery has exacerbated the the hormonal response and the glucose dumping is a result of the shortening time of digestion. If no one else has suggested, as your dietary change must happen, more saturated natural good fats will help with slowing digestion. I wake up and don't eat till around mid afternoon, which is probably a ham salad, then another meal before 7pm, which is usually a roast meat, or a low carb chicken curry, or a fry up, such as bacon or gammon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions. All my frying is done in natural fats not vegetable oils or plant based oils. Production foods are not to be eaten, just full of sugar and additives. I don't eat again. Lots of black tea, as I'm lactose intolerant. Water about two litres a day. It sounds awful, but you do have other options. Have a look at dietdoctor.com or our own low carb forum. 1. I'm not certain, but everything impacts on glucose/insulin response. If the cortisol increases insulin, then hypoglycaemia is probable, unless it is so small, it won't have an effect. 2.As above. But do search dietdoctor if you are determined to go keto. 3. No idea but I have no need for anything like it. 4. Oh, my god, not another load of absolute rubbish! Scenario; a keto dieter, has a very busy day, fasting, no time for food, no time to drink. Does he need glucose for brain function? Scenario. A person has no access to food for a couple of days, only has water, does he suffer from brain function? Scenario. Me! I was given a fasting testing in hospital, no food for four days, just water. What happens? Answers. 1. No. 2. No. 3. Nowt. I do eat every day for nutriients, nothing else, I get my energy from stored fat and ketones, I don't need glucose from carbs and being in keto, my energy levels are really high, I don't feel hunger I am never tired until I decide I need sleep, I sleep better and more relaxed. The positives of being in control and in normal levels all the time is really good. And the symptoms are much less, the longer you are in keto. Being in keto, is the best treatment for RH. You do not need glucose for brain function, in fact, for me, my brain function is better without food entirely. This is my experience after a decade after diagnosis. Previous to this, same advice as you. Just kept getting worse, more problems, more symptoms, worse memory loss and brain fug! If you want to look after your health better, I have been through it all, done everything possible from advice from doctors. Most of them have never experienced hypoglycaemia. They have been trained in general practitioner role which doesn't include hypoglycaemia The treatment of many meals and eating complex carbs is not fixing the problem, only not having the trigger for more insulin is the answer. Simply put, no carbs, no hypers, no hypos! I hope you can understand that. Keep asking, Keep reading up, start experimenting. [/QUOTE]
