[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2067811, member: 41816"] I find that exercise, stress and sleep deprivation make my body handle carbs very differently. One day, one meal will have a totally different result, depending on whether there is a sudden stressful physical event (urgent dash for bus in the rain and stress of missing appt), or whether I slept well the night before. It ends up being a habit to retrace events and food to work out what happened. And why. And how to avoid it next time... Nowadays, a bad night's sleep means I automatically reach for a large protein breakfast and a drink with cream in it. Sleep deprivation messes my blood glucose up so much that I need to eat slow release protein, bolstered by fat or I get full blown hypos and carb cravings like a roller coaster. Stress used to be an exciting challenge, now it is a finely tuned torture device. :) I really hope your appt goes well and that you get a good discussion and explanation. [/QUOTE]
