[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2077501, member: 85785"] I know it's not what you expected, and you do sound disappointed, but the glucose test did tell you something that you already knew, whatever is causing the trigger to give you excess insulin, is causing the hypos. You cannot go back to eating the foods, whichever they are, that will still turn to glucose and trigger the insulin overshoot. This is I believe what the acerbose is for, your endocrinologist is convinced that having carbs is essential, and the acerbose will help slowing down the digestion process to slow the spikes, but not enough to stop the trigger. You now know for definite that after a hypo you should not have quick acting glucose, because of the rebound effect. That is something you must insist on as you are different to every diabetic that has hypos! You are hypoglycaemic, not diabetic. Also, I had bad liver function and a non alcoholic fatty liver that was a worry at the time, but with very low carb, my results became very good! My liver function tests vary but no concern! Try reducing your meal times, or intermittent fasting, you might be still eating too much, I found little and often didn't work after I had had better control for a while. I only eat now to get enough to live. Are you keeping a food diary? You can convince your endocrinologist, what is working, and of course what you are intolerant to. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
