Just a reminder, too, that Dr. Schwarzbein discourages "carb-ups" (such as athletes do in CKD) because she believes that even periodic surges in insulin levels are detrimental to our health. Her mantra is to keep insulin on an even keel at all times for optimal health.

On the other hand.... in case you don't buy into that .... Natrushka has a lot of experience with CKD and re-feeds AND she has/had hypoglycemia. Her experience is that her hypogl. has apparently been healed, as she doesn't have the BS reactions that she used to. I don't know if I would crash from a re-feed or not.... I haven't had that many carbs in one sitting since i started LC! Don't even like to think about it!

For whatever that's worth to ya........
