[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2028426, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! When we eat very low carb, our bodies get out of the habit of pumping out insulin for every snack. So when we dump a load of carbs into our bodies, it takes a while for our pancreas to catch up and ramp up insulin production again. Sometimes it can take days. So if you want to do a realistic test of how your body is capable of handling carbs nowadays, then you would need to eat carbs regularly for several days (min 3 days, maybe a week) to allow things to settle. [URL]http://www.cesphn.org.au/images/ansc/12_7_11_GTT_Instructions.pdf[/URL] When you see your doctor, can I suggest that you mention your lack of periods to them? There are several health conditions that cause periods to cease, from losing too much weight, being very athletic, PCOS, or others. In my case my periods stopped for years (20+) and it was dismissed as weight and PCOS. Later turned out to be something quite different, and if proper investigations had been done 20 years earlier, then my life would have taken quite a different turn... so please make sure you get checked out. Hope that helps. :) [/QUOTE]
