[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2083992, member: 85785"] Did your specialist say what dietary control he meant? I ask because most doctors including endocrinologists and dieticians, insist that healthy carbs are part of that diet, I was advised to eat this dietary regime with complex carbs, however i still went hypo! Unfortunately for me, carbs always trigger a hypo! They will ask you to have healthy carbs and starchy vegetables as part of a healthy diet, you will need these nutritional for brain function, and too eat regularly to offer the hypos! It doesn't work in the long run, you still eat too much and it doesn't stop the rollercoaster ride of blood sugar levels. I am on a drug called sitagliptin (Januvia). If your specialist is up to date on diabetes drugs, he may try this Gliptin. It won't stop the hypos if you eat too many carbs, but eating a low carb diet it will lower the trigger point to cause the insulin overshoot. As far as I'm aware, there is no known drug that will stop the hyper/hypo scenario. There is no cure, just control and the best control is avoiding the foods that trigger the insulin overshoot. Let us know how you get on. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
