[QUOTE="Kirstyr, post: 2076862, member: 497787"] Went back today to the endocrinologist. We are starting acarbose. We believe my body won’t tolerate a full keto diet due to other conditions, and despite following it for several months before referral to him it created a rather bad liver profile, and obvious stress on the body despite using the right supplements and didn’t totally resolve my hypo scenario (although it was the best route I’ve found so far) Low carb also doesn’t give me full relief, and it’s strange that I have varying reactions to the same food dependent on the day! Little and often creates a high that lasts a whole day and crash in the evening, high gi seems to work better than low gi which seems to be the opposite of what they would expect too.. Anyone with experience of acarbose? he is still waiting on my insulin tests etc to come back from the ogtt hence not going the gliptin route... I’m not convinced it will work, but I’ll try anything to say it’s been tried... In terms of my ogtt the nurse let me self resolve the hypo!! But then they fed me a white bread cheese sandwich = rebound... but never mind... they got it half right! I’m also restricting driving, I can still drive but where possible not to... I have libre and Miao Miao turning it to a cgm with appropriate testing and snacks before driving... Should save some pennies on fuel! (Which I’m spending on the prescription charge!) I’m going back to see him again in a month to review... [/QUOTE]
