It was the bit about AF people not processing protein well that I was

particularly asking about.

I'm ok with the diabetes; I never have the reactive kind. I only

ever have hypos when I'm pregnant and am too sick to eat, or eating

(too) strictly low carb. Or every afternoon around 4pm :-( I think

all of these are low cortisol things - what I'm eating keeps my

sugars flat and never raises it and there is insufficient cortisol to

raise it when I need it.

I don't have the pm hypos now I'm on HC. I just wish I'd put that

particular piece of the jigsaw together years back.
