I’ve been following a pretty strict keto diet for over 6 months now and for a while it was brilliant. No hypos, fewer hot flashes, much more energy, less hunger and far less thirst. The thirst was a big problem this time last year! But recently I’ve been feeling bad again. Wobbly, hot flashes that make me feel prickly all over after eating (not spicy food), tired. Putting a CGM on tonight because I’ve had enough and need some insight. But bottom line is I can’t keep doing no carb. But now my body is even more sensitised to carbs so any time I do have them the reaction is even worse than before. But I’ve had enough - I can’t join in with friends and family at parties, I miss lots of foods, and as someone with a history of anorexia, it’s bringing back horrible memories of feeling isolated and scared of food. Not really sure what I’m asking but hoping you can help. I have a follow up endo appointment after waiting about 15 months since my first appointment. Should I push for an OGTT and 72h fasting? I’ve had a mixed meal but it didn’t have as much of a reaction as most carbs I eat for some reason. 3.5 isn’t low enough for them. What would be the point of those tests? Thank you, and happy new year!</blockquote>
