[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1602859, member: 85785"] As Hypoglycaemia is caused by what you eat, then it's logical to control it by dietary management. I know that fasting also helps after a couple of months of steady glucose levels. But doing things to alter your metabolism takes time. You have to find your balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates. And only testing, testing, recording and experimentation. Then more testing, recording, experience and experimenting will get you there. You have different tastes, food source and environmental issues, I can't dictate what you eat, but your diet should now be more based on protein and high saturated fats, very low carb and stay away from high carbs, low fat food. Fresh food, meals cooked from scratch, no processed foods. High fat dairy is recommended, but I'm intolerant to dairy (except Greek full fat yoghurt!) Don't know why! This is a lifestyle change, the food that should be staple diet is not healthy for you, bread is one of the worst, potatoes are evil to me! (I went to mid teens from normal when I tested for a baked spuds) grains are awful. So I just don't eat them. Avoiding these baddies makes me healthy! Keep asking, keep posting, keep getting knowledge. Test, test test, record. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
