[QUOTE="Bryce74, post: 1789108"] Sorry Lamont, but you were ill-advised, the "eat well plate" is not generally recommended for people with reactive hypoglycemia. And some people with hypoglycemia need to eat every 3 hrs, others every 2 hrs - that's different from person to person. But advising people with reactive hypoglycemia to stick to a low-card diet is ill advised and not according to recommendations. Of course in your basics you could say that people who don't do well on a diet that is generally recommended for hypoglycemia could try a low carb diet, but again and again: A low card diet is NOT advised for people just diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia. A low carb diet can unnecessarily restrict food items and complicate composing a healthy diet. The first thing people with reactive hypoglycemia have to do is *moderate* their carbohydrate intake (not go low), and replace refined carbohydrates (sugars) by complex carbohydrates, and add more fats and proteins to slow digestion. Again, THAT is the generally accepted advice, be it here in the Netherlands, in the UK or in the US. Don't make your experience the advice for all people. That would be plain wrong. [/QUOTE]
