I posted before about my stumbling into low carb and starvation diet and failing OGTT. For the past week, I was eating more, my food consists of chicken, vegetables such as cabbage, radish, brocolli, I cooked salmon yesterday with lots of mushrooms and also use some coconut milk.
Diet is still lowish carb, but I am eating more. However, it is the same story: I eat my meal and will go to 6.5-7.0 after 1.5 hour or so, as for example, now, 6.1. The meal was: chicken (around 40g of protein), 1 tablespoon of coconut milk, brocolli, radish, mushrooms, etc.
Around 45 mins after meal, I start feeling drowsy and get slight headache, and a bit anxious. Measure my BG and it is above 6, this usually where I feel very off. Then it lasts for 2-3 hours after meal to come down 5.x something.
I have gone to an endo who specialises in type 1 DB and he seems to have ruled it out. He sends me to dietician in 2 days to figure out a meal plan. I am honestly afraid of eating carbs because if protein sends me that high, what will happen with carbs? He thinks I do not have diabetes but some insulin resistance and yet my blood glucose makes me tired after meals for 1.5 months already. It is possible this is physiological insulin resistance but then, I am not eating much carbs and people on keto diets do not have spikes to 6.x or even 7. And don't feel horrible.
With a suggestion of another doctor, she said to tread carefully and not eat **** carbs ever again such as grains, pancakes or crisps. Even fruit. It is not quite clear what it is I have. I trust my endo and told him about going to 7.0 after low carb meals but he thinks all is fine.
What are the other avenues to explore this for certain? I am troubled that low carb meals send me that high and make me feel ******.
