[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2372013, member: 85785"] It's high in the sense, that it will trigger the reaction. And your insulin is high in the sense that it's not doing its job efficiently because of the insulin resistance, by the time that you spike, it should be going lower, not maintain consistently producing too much insulin. Fasting is really good for you, if you can, because it gives you a break of what to eat. Wish I had only done a day fasting. Your blood glucose levels stay in normal levels, and it helps with symptoms. As I'm not vegan, I can't really help you with your diet, I have a lot of salad because I can't eat a lot of cooked vegetables.. If you have a supermarket and they stock meat alternatives, there is quite a good range of vegan food. But be careful because some processed foods are full of sugar and I am affected by Palm oils and similar ingredients in manufactured foods. For example, I can't eat wheat so I looked for an alternative bread, so what I found is a free from gluten brand, but when I looked at the ingredients it said that potato starch replaces the gluten. Potatoes are my nemesis, I have had huge spikes from one ordinary potato. This should be the time to take stock read up on a low carb, high fat, vegetarian diet. And testing and discovering what is spiking you. There is a vegetarian forum on here. I have had to find alternatives to my dietary intake replacing the carbs. Or I just avoid them. I had to find my dietary balance. You would not believe the difference in your health and mind, once you have control in normal glucose levels range. If you are anything like me, the majority of symptoms were caused by eating a supposed healthy diet, but was slowly but surely putting my health at risk, because of the rollercoaster ride of blood glucose levels, up and down, all day, every day for years. My doctors didn't understand it and told me to eat so called healthy foods. Healthy food for the majority, but not healthy for me. My food diary is telling me that what I did since diagnosis, to stop eating the foods that were recommended and discover what didn't trigger the insulin reaction. And the only treatment is dietary. Hope this helps. Keep safe, keep asking. [/QUOTE]
