Carbs need more carbs.....The other thing that is often quoted in folklore is an example of going for a rice meal, you feel hungry two hours after.I came to the conclusion that it is probably your brain signalling your body to get more glucose derived from food, as it likes being higher than normal levels. Your metabolism and anything to do with hormonal response, comes from the  messaging associated with the prospect and availability of eating.your brain also likes a surfeit of glucose, as it tends to due to our natural state.I must add the signalling is widespread through our nervous system and organs and the glands. So many to use.Your fasting levels are normal and by the examples given, you could have a predisposed issue with your first phase insulin/hormonal response. As the the glucose derived does go high within a short time.But the cause of this could be any number of reasons including insulin resistance, but that could be guessing.And going high, the response from your brain to continue at this level. But the response is the levels of insulin produced to the high from your pancreas, is maybe the reason for the lows back into normal.And when you come down, as in a sugar crash, that is why you feel it similar to a hypo, commonly known as a false hypo.Always test it you feel a hypo coming on.It will be interesting to see the outcomes of the next few weeks trial and testing.Best wishes.</blockquote>
