[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1788480, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! I get where you are coming from, because I agree that controlling RH with diet is a long, wearing experience, little understood, and very lonely. But my own diet, social life and travel arrangements allow me a lot more freedom than you, while still achieving very tight control. Is there a reason why you restrict your foods to the same things every day? I’ve tried a range of different ways of eating with RH, but i have always eaten a range of proteins, veg, salad, fats, oils, colours, flavours and textures. More recently I have adopted the strictest yet, and still find my foods varied and appetising. As for the risk of hypos while travelling, the quickest fix is a gluco tab. Not ideal for an RHer, but it will stop the hypo dead. A handful of nuts from the flight attendant will stabilise blood glucose afterwards. In flight meals are dire. I probably wouldn’t be eating them even if I could. Last time I flew it was a 6 hr transatlantic flight. Going there, there were check in delays and no time to eat. So I fasted through the flight. No hypo, because my blood glucose was steady going in. Hungry, yes, but no hypers or hypos. The return journey I feasted on steak before the flight and didn’t need any in flight foods at all, since the slow release protein and fat kept blood glucose steady for hours. And at the cinema... well... i have taken far more interesting things than popcorn, and made the popcorn eaters green with jealousy! Nowadays I think wasapeas, feta stuffed peppers and chorizo crisps would probably be on the menu... [/QUOTE]
