[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2471818, member: 85785"] One of the final tests that I had other than more eOGTTs was a fasting test, this was under supervision in my local hospital over four to five days. This test is to see if I didn't eat, would I still go hypo? If I went hypo, it would not reactive hypoglycaemia, it would be a pancreatic condition such as insulinoma. But if I did not go hypo, it was reactive hypoglycaemia. This realisation that I didn't need to keep eating to stop going hypo and keeping my blood sugar levels in normal range was strangely good for my health, a lightbulb moment, that I felt better fasting and it was the start of my recovery. I fast every day now. Only one or two meals a day. And I am lactose intolerant as well from birth. But I can tolerate Greek yogurt, full fat., with a few berries. Fruit you have to be careful because I can have pieces of fruit, but not a lot! Tropical fruit can be too much. Sorry, but I'm a meat guy. I can't abide cooked vegetables and only have salad vegetables, no dressings, no sauces. I would recommend dietdoctor.com, you will get better dietary advice especially about very or ultra low carb or a ketogenic diet that I would subscribe to. And vegan, even though it is a lot more difficult to get the right saturated fats that you need. And from experience vegetable oils or other plant based ingredients are not recommended. Some vegetables are full of starch which is another carb and will spike you. And the rule is, below ground is bad, above ground is good. Use your cgm as testing your blood sugar levels to see how much carbs spike you. Use a food diary to log details of the testing and what you eat When you think that all our lives we have been told that carbs are healthy, well for me, they were killing me. And I have never been constipated. Meds, all my meds have no sugar or lactose, and need to be enteric, especially aspirin. Just a heads up seeing that you take repeat meds for Mesiere's. Keep asking, keep safe. [/QUOTE]
