[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2287084, member: 41816"] I totally respect your choice not to eat meat, eggs and dairy, but I think you have a major misunderstanding if you think that going low carb means you have to cut out fruit and veg. Huge numbers of people eating low carb have a generous intake of both fruit and veg - they just choose to eat lower carb fruit and veg that don't harm their blood glucose. Berries instead of bananas, celeriac and cauliflower instead of potatoes, avocado instead of mango. Also, please don't fall into the trap of thinking that if you aren't seeing blood glucose spikes, then you are not eating too many carbs. All it means in that you still have a prompt insulin response, and you are kicking out enough insulin to prevent a spike, but it is still overshooting to cause the subsequent hypo. Your recent test results are proof of this. The reality is that if you are getting hypos, you are still eating too many carbs. What usually happens as people (and by people I mean people with glucose regulation dysfunction, like RHers and pre-diabetics and T2 diabetics) is that the more they continue with a carby starchy lifestyle including low GI foods, then the more they wear out their body's capacity to cope. Eventually that prompt insulin response gives up the ghost and they progress to worse blood glucose dysfunction, their health deteriorates, and their condition progresses. I would urge you to make sensible dietary changes now, rather than wearing out your capacity in a shorter time. [/QUOTE]
