You are correct that people like you benefit from low carb eating. Your bariatric surgeon will advise this to get the weight off by cutting your carbs- that is the standard advice before surgery. You have said your liver has improved and I am not surprised by that. I cannot give medical advice, and this is just me talking to you about what I have seen on the internet as an ordinary person looking around, and it is amazing. Have you seen the zero carbers? People like 'Jeff Cyr- how a ketogenic diet saved my life' who is on a site called
www.zerocarbzen.com. I will say no more, so have a look and talk to them by email. They were a revelation to me.
Hi, again, I appreciate the link.
I myself, have been on a ketogenic lifestyle for over four years.
It took quite a long time finding the right balance of protein, fats and very little carbs, it's virtually impossible to be zero from what I have read.
You could learn a lot from how Hypoglycaemia is all down to diet and how your body 'reacts' to how few carbs it takes to push my blood glucose levels out of normal into quick spikes. And how having stability in your blood glucose levels, actually can improve your health dramatically, reducing symptoms and improving your life.
For years, So called healthy complex carbs were recommended. If not for a referral to a specialist endocrinologist, I would not have been posting this.
Reactive Hypoglycaemia has no cure, pharmaceutical drugs for treatment have not been published. Most drugs make the condition worse.
My endocrinologist has done a study on a Gliptin that improves initial insulin response. But it does not prevent the Hypoglycaemia.
So it is a dietary treatment, and I have found very low carb (under 20gms per day) and intermittent fasting is my lifestyle.
Best wishes on your endeavour.
