[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1546186, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome [USER=430900]@JDub[/USER] I think the main piece of advice I can give you is that low GI did absolutely nothing for me. I had to go MUCH lower carb than that. And as soon as I did so, the RH just disappeared - until I ate too many carbs and back it came. The thing about low GI is that is isn't necessarily low enough carb. You can eat moderate to high carbs, even if they are slower to digest. And if your RH is triggered by the quantity of carbs arriving in your bloodstream as glucose, then it is the height of the blood glucose spike that causes the over production of insulin, and the resulting hypo. Doesn't matter whether the carbs are low or high GI, they are still going to hit your bloodstream as glucose. Have a look at getting a meter. Sometimes people don't believe that low GI carbs are as damaging as high GI ones until they see the evidence on their own meter screen. I suspect that the 'well balanced' meals you are eating would be fine for a lot of people, but not fine for someone with type 2 diabetes and/or RH. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
