The main reason is you are going to have to discover how certain foods and drinks (mainly carbs and sugar) can cause the reaction. This is important for control, and the only treatment for the condition, that actually works is keeping your blood glucose levels in or just above normal range consistently.  And depending on your body, because we are different, for example, because of health history, your intolerance to carbs, which ones, for instance my highest level was for potatoes. Yours are likely to be wheat or fruit, but each food will test different, cos of portion size, what protein, good fats, you do have with the carbs.And of course, since finding this out, potatoes in any way, are off the menu. And I am also, just to confuse things, lactose intolerant. You can eat cheese, but I can't!Cheese is very low in carbs. And is a good, go to snack. And if you are low and require a nudge back into normal range, or a small meal of salad or meatI, as part of my last job, was travelling about once a week up and down the country.Of course finding low carb food out there was no joke, but you will find your way around it. The shops and restaurants, even mackies have the information we RH ers need to know, but I eventually only eat freshly cooked food. And I'm sure you have had food prepared, to take with you.But you do have to be careful.Some processed foods are really bad for you, typically containing such things as palm oil, vegetable oils and additives.There is a lot of information on our forum.It can be done and I have stopped having hypos, because I don't have the food that cause the reaction.No carbs, no spikes, - no spikes, no trigger, - no trigger, no overshoot, - no overshoot, no hypo. Keep safe,, keep asking,</blockquote>
