[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2120480, member: 85785"] What I suggested was to test your favourite foods and see if they caused the symptoms, because it may cause a hypo, you can always eat something that puts glucose levels up, I found that perhaps over a long period of time, you could take the experimentation phase gradually especially if you were getting good blood sugar levels before eating, you should always only test, when your fasting or pre meal levels are in normal range. This is to find those foods that causes the symptoms. Once you know these foods, I would avoid them and test some other foods. The portion size has to be taken into consideration, as is the amount of good fats. For instance, a small potatoe could be okay, but a large one would cause the symptoms. Once you have gone through the experimentation process, having the food that you can tolerate continuously for a while can only be beneficial. I was taken off metformin, but that's me. You may be different. If you was certain of a diagnosis and the process of digestion was understandable, knowing how your response to food causes your symptoms, there may be a drug that may help. However, if you have Hypoglycaemia, at this present time there is no magic pill or cure. It is food that causes the problem. Only dietary changes will help manage whatever condition you may have. And as I have found, it is manageable with good control, which in turn will certainly improve your health. I would never advise anyone with Hypoglycaemia to eat high carbs regularly! That is insane and would make you ill! Best wishes [/QUOTE]
