While granted, we don't want to OD on HC, likewise, you don't want to keep burning up all your reserves. What I ask DH is: do you feel anxious, shaky, or nauseous at all? For him, anxiety is usually the problem, and I then make him take a squirt (2 mg on the syringe). This is a much smaller hit than the 5 mg you're doing, so helps, without being too much. When he started the day with 10 mg (instead of 8 now), then he DID need a 7 p.m. dose, cause he'd start to get anxious. I guess that's the suppression effect. After lowering the first dose to 8 mg, he usually doesn't need a 7 p.m. dose. Unless, like the other day, they were talking politics at work and he got all worked up! : ) > I'll use the chromium as you suggest. I guess that it doesn't matter > if I don't get exactly 200mg.

You know, when I was that hypoglycemic, I tried not to eat ANY carbs, including rice or quinoa. I followed Rosedale religiously, and it worked. Ate mostly veggie sides and all meats were somehow drenched in some sort of fat like olive oil or cream. Just an idea. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
