[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2369152, member: 85785"] Hi and welcome to our forum. Your glucose is typically RH, even though I have been higher than a reading of 9mmols, the insulin is again something that I have gone through, the high figure at 90 minutes is what is your secondary response of insulin called an overshoot, this is what drives your glucose levels down into hypoglycaemia. Well done on realising that it is food that triggers the reaction and food (very low carb) Is the only treatment I would recommend for RH. In ketosis, if you don't want to lose weight, is eat more protein, a bit more full fat for satiety, but finding the right balance of food is important for your health, testing and experimenting will help you do this and keep a record of before and after meals. I don't believe it is episodic when you have good control, but am I right in thinking that you have only been doing low carb a short while, your body needs to adjust and adapt to being in ketosis. Also, you still could be eating too many carbs and triggered the reaction, but that is why I stop eating before 7pm, so I know I'm not going hypo before bed. There isn't a lot of research or knowledge and experience with RH and to be healthy as well, because the theology stopping hypos is not the answer, it is, the not having hypos in the place that works, no carbs, no trigger, no hyper, no overshoot, no hypo. Even my endocrinologist, was advising me to eat more carbs and we discussed it, he had a read of my food diary, and looked at my body and my demeanour and of course no hypos. My endocrinologist is based in the north, If you are close enough he does see referred patients and private. Exercise can be tricky, I usually have a walk in the morning, a walk after every meal and if I'm feeling a bit off as a warning, then I walk then. Fifteen minutes walk after fifteen minutes after meal, it really does help keep your blood glucose levels around normal range. If I did do too much, then I would probably get a boost from my liver, because that is the body's reaction to low glucose levels. I suspect that because of not being in ketosis long enough, you may still be adapting to having low carbs. I would suspect that cycling at an easy pace if you're used to riding should be ok, swimming is recommended, light weight training and walking, obviously Working and walking should be enough. But as always finding your personal balance of lifestyle is what makes you healthy. RH is a condition that is triggered by foods, mainly carbs., so not eating carbs is the only logical conclusion. It works for me. I don't suffer from hypos, and I don't really, really miss the carbs! Keep asking, keep safe. Let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
