[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1049419, member: 220230"] I tried low carb and it didn't work as well for me. I found I was better to include a small amount of carbs with each meal. I eat around 100g per day on average (that's total carbs, not starchy ones). Most days I'm fine with that, but may be today has proven that on especially busy days it's not enough. It's tricky for me with RH, as too many carbs and I risk constant hypo's. When I was on LCHF and I was producing ketones I felt dreadful and with 2 very active small children I couldn't carry on feeling like it. Catch 22 I think you call it! Strangely, before I had my first OGTT in July last year I was eating a normal diet including bread, pasta, rice, cereal etc, I never had any hypo symptoms. I did start to notice the hyper's which led me to visit the a Docs. After the OGTT when I hypo'd, I changed my diet to reduce carbs and include low GI ones, that's when the RH symptoms really seemed to kick in! [/QUOTE]
