Gezzathorpe a relative newbie states.
“The fact that there are people who think that a GP is going to be scared off by the comments made and needs to be wrapped in cotton wool is BREATHTAKING at the very least.
According to his profile he visited the site at 7:12am today. Has anyone received any messages from him or responses to outstanding questions, including the glaringly missing stats on some of the people involved? Good luck to anyone who is happy to place their future on the results of such a shoddily presented and incomplete piece of information.”
Check out the signature of Gezzathorpe “type 2, diet controlled, 250g+ carbs/day, 3m walking/day” If this person is running non diabetic BG numbers and HbA1c they are one in a million, and I’m spending a long weekend with Halle Berry.

Maybe Gezzathorpe needs a new meter.
You can use a baked potato or a bagel for a glucose test. Both have about 30g of fast-acting carb, and if you're diabetic, either one will send your BG over 200 an hour after you eat it. If you can pass eight glucose tests a day without medication, you're not T1, T2 or any other type of diabetic.
Eddie you appear to have annoyed Gezzathorpe. I agree 250 plus carbs for diet only diabetic is very unusual to say the least.
Shows we are all different.

Despite all the carbs he apparently suffers from hypo's.

An apple for me.

"An apple for me. To those of you sneaking a peak from outside this site (you know, you dumbos who call yourselves Anonymous then sign with your name!!) , please give my love to "Queen Eddie" mmwaa xxxx"
Another reader of our humble blog. 250 carbs+ no meds and gets hypos, tell us how you do it.

Correction to my previous comment--there are diabetics whose blood sugar goes up on fat, not carb. I'd forgotten about it until someone mentioned it today. Research rats get diabetes through high-fat diets, so the mechanism is out there. But if this person corrects hypos by eating an apple, well...
Hi Lori
There are various causes for low BG levels.
"Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is another common problem of cirrhosis. If you experience this, you will need a diet of small, frequent meals that include complex carbohydrates such as breads, pastas and rice. Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar, causes many symptoms including fatigue, confusion and heart flutters because -- in the case of cirrhosis -- the liver isn't able to store enough energy (in the form of glycogen, a chemical the body uses for quick energy). Since the body is able to quickly break down carbohydrates and use them for energy, this can help smooth out the problems caused by hypoglycemia."

Thanks for the info, Eddie. I suspect I suffered from hypoglycemia most of my life. I used to do frequent little carby meals, and it was a huge improvement over three "balanced meals" a day, but LC, around 40g per day with some nibbling between meals, works a lot better for me.
