Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 2746630" data-attributes="member: 88961">[USER=595610]@Shaky-kate[/USER] - I know I have mentioned fuelling well ahead of exercise several times, but I'mm also conscious I haven't put any context on what that means.For me, when fat adapted, my body is pretty quick to respond to a protein and fat rich meal, but there is probably an element of fuelling left from earlier eating episodes.In your shoes, if I wanted to try a protein and fat focused way of eating, with reduced carbs, then to be honest, I'd likely want to be eating that way for a couple of day, at least, before any heavy exercise.  You will still need to carry hypo treatments with you, even when protein/fat adapted - just in case.For those on protein based diets, some find they have virtually no rise in blood sugars - just a wavy line (as opposed to peaks and troughs), but for some, they find a more modest rise.It does take the body a few days to get used to any new form of fuelling.  You may find your body goes into a form of withdrawal from carbs.  The most usual symptoms are headache and sometimes a bit of tiredness.If you have RH, I refer you back to my tennis ball/ceiling tale.  If you don't thrust the bloods up, they are less likely to overshoot on the way down.As a matter of interest, did they do any insulin testing, alongside the blood glucose testing when you were in hospital.  I'm assuming at least some of your tests were veinous blood, as opposed to finger prick testing?</blockquote>
