[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1478084, member: 85785"] What most doctors don't understand is that we have a natural intolerance to foods that raises our blood glucose. When our blood raises so quickly, that creates the symptoms. The spikes combined with the hypos create more symptoms. So to be healthy we need to eat as few carbs as possible, that gets rid of the symptoms. But it has to be a balance for the right nutritional value to live healthy. If that makes sense! (Confuse myself sometimes!) One of things that we go by and it is crucial that it is necessary to go by, No hypers, no hypos! Simply put, we don't raise blood glucose levels, so the likelihood of a hypo goes away! Because we keep in normal blood glucose range. We get our energy from ketones, not from carbs, for some reason, this helps with the weight loss, that helps with insulin resistance, we don't create the second insulin response, so no excess insulin, because of the fats we digest slower so no glucose surge. No excess glucose, normal blood levels. The balance in our blood is normal, our bodies like it there. The brain is happy, the body is happy, you've got good energy, the symptoms go! Doctors believe that we need glucose from complex carbs to ensure our brains get enough to ensure good brain function. For us it's the opposite, if our brains need glucose, the liver provides. Carbs create the symptoms of brain fog, the forgetfulness, the shakes, the headaches, the anxiety. Going very low carb gets rid of them! Doctors don't understand, even my endocrinologist keeps suggesting I need them! I don't! Of course it is how much carbs we have, around 20 gms is about the tolerance levels for us. But I don't count, I have never counted carbs or calories, I tried long ago, but I found my monitor was better at giving me the results I was needing to steer me through the process of testing, testing, experimenting, testing, recording, and recording in my food diary. You would be advised to use one as you track your journey. You will then have something to see how your tolerance levels are doing. Sorry for the long rambling, but, there is so much you can do and it is about giving you valuable information. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
