[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2368855, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=538608]@Harold c[/USER] Welcome to our forum. First of all, I will try and explain why I think that you need to change a few things, just don't think that I'm not experienced because I worked in football and they do a lot of upper body workout. So, I don't have shakes at all, and if I did it would be a vegetable shake, which [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] will help. The reason is because it is processed and it is formulated to be concentrated, also the favouring, isn't good for you in the long term. Even though it is a protein shake, like the protein bars, the amount of carbs is increased due to production sugars. If you do have RH, you are carb intolerant, depending on a number of things, the amount of carbs recommended is gonna be low, so you have to be careful with the amount of carbs you can tolerate. I don't have hypos. Because my diet is very low carb. So my blood sugar levels stay in normal range all the time, that stops any hypos. What is happening to you when you hypo. Is you have carbs, for me it doesn't matter how much, the carbs push my blood sugar levels up too high, the pancreas reacts with far too much insulin, that drives your blood sugar levels down into hypo levels. Normal range is between 3.5-6mmols. The trigger for too high is around 7.5 (ish) So for breakfast you eat breakfast, this will start the rollercoaster ride of blood sugar levels for the rest of the day, in and out, hyper, hypo hyper, hypo and so on. Your weight training diet of having carbs just before will result in the same reaction, and when you feel tired after a while, that is because your energy levels have dropped because of your sugar levels drop. You will get a liver dump of glucose and glycogen which will again trigger the reaction. The fasting level insulin reading is typically RH. That is because, you body wastes insulin, for many reasons, so the initial insulin response is weak and doesn't cope with the amount of glucose derived from a typical meal with carbs. In my experience, carbs and weight training, is something that you will have to think about. Your body is producing too much insulin and the symptoms you are getting are because of your blood sugar levels going up and down all the time. RH is a condition that needs control to be healthy and hypo free. Can I ask you a few questions please? Did you have a two hour OGTT or a four to five hours OGTT? Did you go hypo? What was your blood sugar levels at the end of the test? Have you had any other tests? Have you seen a specialist endocrinologist? What dietary advice have you had? I say this a lot but what is healthy foods for most people, they are not healthy for someone who has RH. The next few weeks, you will need to start finding out which foods you can tolerate, keep a food diary, this will help you understand what is happening to you. I gather from your post, that you are training to keep your fitness and wellness. So, this will be a lifestyle choice that you need to do. Having hypos because of your fitness is dangerous, and unhealthy for us. Any questions, please do? Keep safe [/QUOTE]
