Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 2738949" data-attributes="member: 85785">Hi again, again.It is great that you use a food diary. You can gain so much information from one. Seeing trends when your dietary approach gets used to lower carbs intake, you can see how the intolerance levels of individual foods effect your BG levels.Even tho the food you describe is low carb, it does seem a lot for one meal. I think it might be the reason you are still getting symptoms, until your system does get used to the low carb, your body hasn't adapted especially if you do have high GI carbs with some of your meals. And will still over producing too much insulin.And you will probably still be getting a weak first phase insulin response regardless of food.I would imagine, once again that because of the still going through the process of getting used to low carb, that it would not surprise me that you might not have noticed the lesser symptoms. It is called hypo awareness.And the more time low carb, the more sensitive you become. One of my symptoms of being aware is dreams.Technicolor vivid dreams. And to go with that, my wife is wary to be in the same bed, if I have one. And sweats etc.An I'm not surprised it is normal reading, your are non diabetic if you have the condition of RH.I know that to have the actual condition of RH is rare. meds y more have the symptoms, some are T2, some go through it in pregnancy, some have sugar crashes there is also, a child ailment. And then the other hypoglycaemic conditions. Some are non diabetic, some have it with T2,  some don't have symptoms.And similar to T1, pancreatic conditions, can be autoimmune, or can be symptomatic with hypoglycaemia as in insulinoma, or in some cancers of the pancreas.as I said, until the tests are done, you are in limbo.And I agree that the priority in your case should be the more severe conditions you have.I have lived with RH for over twelve years doing keto as well, so I would disagree with your doct or, it is sustainable. There are many with metabolic conditions that have chosen a keto lifestyle, because the difference is a lot better than the medical profession assume.If I didn't do keto, I would be very ill, overweight and suffering.My health since diagnosis is excellent, at seventy (nearly) I am very good.If not for my endocrinologist, I don't believe I would have survived to this age as my health was so bad at the time. Keto works for me.Good proteins and in my experience good saturated fats are very good for me. Fresh food only.It is the production type foods that are not, anything with production sugars, sweetners, additives, oils and vegetable oils. Some ingredients are toxic I believe. Especially to me.And before diagnosis, keto, my cholesterol was high and bad. It is not now.With your other conditions, I have not much experience with, so I won't , what low carb effects you, is for you to ,experience, experiment with.Yes, as soon as you can afford one, it is a good method of testing. There may be a new gadget soon enough cheap and better, and synced to your smartphone. It can't be soon enough.Finally, RH is a condition that at the present time has no cure, no magic pill, only controlling blood glucose.The longer in control the better. The more time spent in or just above normal range, your health will improve and the symptoms ease.I don't have much idea what medical assistance is like in modern Russia, but I have no doubt it is just as bad in the U.K.. So we do have to look after ourselves and use our experience.The forum was set up for those, who with metabolic conditions, mainly diabetes, couldn't make sense of the NHS advice. And these diabetics through experience, found that reduction of carbs improved their health and reduced meds. I am only on aspirin and irbesarten for hypertension from years ago. No other meds.And this forum helped with my realisation that it would be a healthy option for my condition.And it has.my best wishes.</blockquote>
