[QUOTE="Missha, post: 2356798, member: 536603"] Hello [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] and [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] and thank you very much for your time! I don't have any allergies or intolerances as far as I know (had gastroscopy and colonoscopy about 8 years ago, which is long time ago, so that may changed, and some basic allergy tests about one year ago, everything perfect) Also I don't feel bad right after meal, on the contrary I feel immense relief in about 10 or 15 minutes after meal. The hypo symptoms starts about 2 hours after breakfast and about 3 or 4 hours after lunch (not if I have a big snack). If I postpone breakfast to 10 am I feel already pretty bad around that time - but I always have a plain herbal tea first thing in the morning, not sure if that can activate the insulin as I expect there are no carbs. The only hypo feelings related to food which I am aware of is coffee and theine teas such as green and black tea. I stopped drinking those even before being diagnosed because I realized that they shorten the ok period between meals. I went from 2 hours without hypos to one if I had coffee. I have been keeping my blood levels for about a month between 4.5 and 5.7, only once since going low carb I was 4.1 and few days ago I was 6.1 after a workout (no cardio, just my body weight). I always felt so bad after any kind of sport also had some really bad hypos or maybe hypers? after working out or running so I just stopped :( Now when I have glucometer I tried to do a simple body weight workout and was really surprised about having 6.1, I was not feeling ok during the workout. I haven't had any special dietary advice, just to keep it low carb with complex carbs which I don't even try. Just trying to keep the carbs down as much as possible. My doctor met only one person with this condition and he had no idea what to do with me but at least he knew something about it, another doctor I met before told me I was completely ok and just to eat more since I am very skinny. I eat a lot. 3 hours looked like a maximum they were doing, they even told me that they never measured insulin for 3 hours o_O I read an interesting post by [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] saying that Libre found out that you are going low before you feel like it and measure your blood levels which then seems ok and no hypo. Looks like I have to buy Libre! Maybe it will show me something interesting. I will try to keep the carb levels down as much as possible and will definitely do the allergy tests again. Are there any other tests you would reccomend that could tell me more? Thank you again, really appreciate your help, it's so nice to be heard! [/QUOTE]
