[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2519583, member: 85785"] If that was me, the weetabix and the bran would have in double mmols numbers! I can only surmise that even though the spike was relatively normal response, with RH, it is what happens after the spike, even though you got very good readings returning to normal levels, the prospect of going below into hypo levels is always a concern. Also your insulin resistance would or should be better at handling the glucose derived from carbs, but isn't that tempting fate? I don't know your trigger point, it is probably different from mine but the actual reason not to trigger your overshoot is what will stop the very low blood glucose levels. Eating carbs with RH is very slowly going to cause health issues. The seeded bread is another carb that will spike you and cause the insulin overshoot, too much insulin is the reason why you feel sleepy and insulin is one of the reasons for weight gain. You may be able to have more carbs than me, but it is all about carbs, food that you are susceptible to make you feel sleepy and gaining weight. The rollercoaster ride of up and down glucose levels is not going to work with RH. Being in normal levels or just above is recommended, that is how your health will improve and the chance of you getting your health and weight in control! And it will help with your PCOS as well!
