I have been eating banana chips which have a pretty good carb to fat ratio. It seems to work better than glucose tablets. I rarely have juice around though so I haven’t tried it yet. I’ve also been staying away from rice but it’s hard! I’m trying to introduce rice back in my diet and it seems to be okay with lots of veggies. Just with protein and my blood sugar spikes (I say spikes, but it only goes to 145 or so) and then plummets though.
I talked to my endocrinologist about all this stuff and he said he wants more data before sending me off to do expensive hospital testing, which in some ways I appreciate but I am starting to get nervous about my bg trending downwards. So he said he wanted me to do an informal MMTT test at home… and I did… but it was a disaster. 15min after drinking it, my bg was 125. But then I ended up throwing everything I drank up 20min after drinking all of it. Then I just laid in bed trying to recover, but had all of my bg check alarms still set on my phone. So I checked 40min after drinking all of it and my bg was 29! I stumbled into the kitchen and took one or two glucose tablets (I don’t really remember everything very well, I was only half conscious) and ate a bunch of chocolate covered macadamia nuts and cashews. My bg came back up to 78 after about 10-15min. But adrenaline never kicked it!! So it makes me kinda nervous now because I have noticed adrenaline kicks in at inappropriate times (like when my bg is 84 and adrenaline raises it to 106 when I am just sitting around watching TV) and doesn’t kick in when my bg is low (like when it dropped to 29 or when it’s in the 60’s in the morning). I haven’t been able to get a hold of my doctor to talk to him about this and he has’t ordered the antibody tests yet 
But I am starting to get a little worried at this point…
