[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2106392, member: 41816"] Hi, You are having a really miserable time of it! If your RH is like mine, then I wouldn't be touching carbs at all. In order to keep from the hyper/hypo cycle I would try a day of just meat, fish, eggs and cheese. And keep a diary, and track your blood glucose. I found that carbs, ANY 'carbs' used to treat a hypo just gave me knock on swings and a yoyo effect. And [USER=277199]@kokhongw[/USER] is perfectly right - getting into ketosis and staying there is a fab preventative for RH. As for your avoiding hypos at night... for me, the answer is simple. No carbs. and fill up on meat or cheese or nuts. If that means a snack of cold meat or a handful of nuts before bedtime, then so be it. Those would keep me rock steady all night, although I do tend to dip a little around 2.30 am. I think most people do. But if it happens slowly, the body just brings you slowly back up under its own steam. No need for drastic glucose treatments, because for me, that would set me off on the yoyo for the rest of the day. And as for the pituitary gland link. Yeah, I have a tumour on it. But they have only linked that to excess prolactin, not to anything else. But I long ago lost faith in Western Medicine having ALL the answers. Now I just treat the symptoms of RH by avoiding them completely. No carbs. Problem solved. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
