Hypo update (In treatment for SIBO / Blastocystis)

Curves for carbs!! Originally would have been tall spikes that would then plummet me into scary hypos! We think we have eradicated about half of the SIBO (there was quite a high volume) through antibiotic treatment and I am reacting to carbohydrates differently. Clearly the SIBO was causing some sort of malabsorption and then a quite over the top insulin response because of this. The big hills are from hearty meals with slow release carbs such as brown rice; when I was unwell I couldn’t tolerate brown rice even in a minuscule portion, it would quickly shoot me up to the 9’s then i’d drop into the low 3s and high 2s. I don’t know if i’ll be completely better once we have even more of the SIBO gone, but so interesting to already see a difference- the switch from a spike to a curve is right in front of my eyes. The antibiotics are making me feel unwell and exhausted but will all be worth it eventually! Hope everyone is well and not feeling too blue this January ) xx

The spike on the green graph here with my glucose at 4.5 is how I originally reacted to brown rice, quite possibly a smaller portion than what I had in the above graphs
