[QUOTE="Ellenor2000, post: 2077918, member: 508208"] Do y'all want me to have another cup of coffee for your entertainment? You get to choose how many scoops of coffee beans I take. I'm basically drinking double cream to which I add a tablespoon or three of Balkan yoghurt (never had a problem with it, it gives me a slight ISFG rise, so this isn't carbohydrate-sensitive hypoglycemia). The solid food is basically all chicken or cheese: chicken leg drumsticks I've just run out of, scrambled eggs, Cheddar cheese, and sometimes I'll have cottage cheese blenderised in the drink. I will also eat between one and five strawberries per day. "Yesterday" (I'm running on Moscow time atm even though I'm in Canada) I broke the "low carb" nature of my diet by adding molasses (black treacle) to the cup of cream and yoghurt. The effect of coffee on my system appears dose-dependent, though because I don't have enough data it's not statistically significant - if I have a 4-bag cup of tea I have moderately lower ISF glucose but remain cognitively normal and not symptomatic of hypoglycemia. By the way, that's a lot of caffeine for a normal person - my tolerance is particularly high. I may be fine (with moderately reduced ISF glucose) if I only sipped coffee throughout the day or used a lower number of grounds. [/QUOTE]
