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: 1917364" data-attributes="member: 85785">Just to give you an idea how quickly I spike from my experimental meals,I had normal levels before the meal 4.7. I ate one medium sized potato, half a tin of beans and a pork loin chop. My 30 min levels was 12. One hour 14.6!So after eating just the same sized potato without the meat and beans, it still reached 13.9 after an hour.I know that you probably dump quicker than me. But it showed me that every time I spiked I would go hypo. And the symptoms were really bad.I will tell you, that I had a bacterial infection in my stomach, which I have read, probably caused the problem, it is called heliocobacter pylori.The symptoms are similar to stomach ulcers, lots of wind, problems with bowels, reflux, indigestion. I was having these symptoms and I got a referral for an endoscopy.The treatment is a dose of antibiotics, which cured it completely and I have really good gut bacteria.But, I'm convinced that both the bacteria and the cure changed my response to food and particularly anything carbs or sugars.From reading the forum and other experiences I have read about, only 100% virgin olive oil should have no effect on bloods, but I only use animal fats as I don't like the feeling from olive oil and I'm just happier knowing that I have no worries from fats. Vegetable oils are a definite miss for me, from reading again, I have observed myself that these oils can be unhealthy.I'm not anti vegan or vegetarian, it is just my body telling me that these oils are not for me. I can't abide cooked vegetables and i have a dairy intolerance, wheat intolerance, grain intolerance and of course starchy vegetables intolerance.It can be a battle to convince not only yourself but others of what is happening to you. I have had plenty of conversations with dieticians and nutritionists (I work with one!) Never mind my GP, dsn, and endo! This is we're my food diary comes in and the results speak for themselves, also, my energy levels and good health (especially for my age!) And I admit to them all, that how I go about my lifestyle and my food choices to ensure my health. You only have to read my threads about my last few annual review results, how healthy my system is now, my body can and does live without carbs, I'm in ketosis permanently, this is where my body likes to be.I am really aware of what is known as, hypo or hyper awareness, I know very quickly now, when my blood levels go up or down below normal levels, that is because my lifestyle has  been without as few as possible carbs for over four years now.I hope I'm not overloading you with too much advice about my personal experience, on how to try and get your health and life back.Just keep asking and let us know how you get on.Best wishes.</blockquote>
