[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 648628, member: 41816"] Hi, and welcome! The following is based on my experience: In my opinion, you've done the best thing you could have done, by switching to low carb. That's the biggest and quickest step you can take. Next, I suggest you get yourself a blood glucose meter (lots of advice across the forum on this about choosing one, but a lot of us get the SD Codefree because it is cheapest.) Once you have a meter, then you can start fine tuning your low carb diet to suit your body, by testing foods. You can also map out your personal RH reaction, find out when your blood glucose is likely to drop, and have something to eat before it happens. You may need to have a low carb snack every 2 or 3 or 4 hours, depending on how your body reacts. But please resist the urge to snack on sugary, carby things - that always sent me into a self destructive seesaw of highs and lows. Stick to snacks of meat, cheese, eggs and nuts, until you have tested other snacks to see what effect they have. Hope that helps! And please, ask any questions you like! [/QUOTE]
