[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 1477325, member: 277199"] Once we understand that the symptoms are due to excessive insulin response, we can tweak it in a number of ways. 1) Carbs generally trigger the highest insulin response, followed by proteins, and minimal response from fats. 2) A sudden surge in insulin will drive down the glucose level, hence the brain goes into a fuel shortage crisis mode. But our brain can function on glucose AND ketones. Sources of dietary ketones includes MCT Oil and Coconut oil. MCT works fast and disappears fast. Coconut oil works slower but last longer. These alternative brain fuel should calm things down. If necessary you may even consider a full ketogenic diet. Do some research on brain impaired glucose uptake and ketones. It will help you understand your situation better. But usually a lower carb diet is sufficient. Not too much proteins. Unless the Dr orders an extended 4-5 hrs OGTT, you are unlikely to get a diagnosis. Most simply dismiss such hunger by asking you to take some fast carbs and get it over with. But if you do that, as many of us did, we eventually developed T2D.... [/QUOTE]
