Please help me with some advice. My name is Tanja, South African but I
am travelling abroad. I need advice on my diet for hypoglycemia and
neurological impairment.

For the past three years Ý have had severe mental fatigue and stress.
Ýn October Ý started taking Hoodia Gordonii to loose weight. Two
months later Ý was eating almost nothing. At times Ý ate only lamb,
wýthout any carbs. I got very thin very fast.

I developed severe brain fatigue symptoms which got worse in five
months. At no time was my glucose tested as everyone assumed Ý had
psychological problems. My doctor was completely useless in this
regard. Ý went for psychiatric testing but nobldy could find the cause
for my brain problems.

Ýn March i had a collapse and near-death experience which Ý now
realise was a hypoglycemic episode. Soon after that I left my home
country for business travels.
On my travels and after much prayer, Ý have realised that my body has
not been utilising the food Ý'm eating, resulting in neurological
impairment for six months. ý feel very weak and my brain feels as if
it is sliding. I am feeling great anxiety. I've been eating well and
my glucose tested normal yesterday but my brain is not recovered yet.
Ý imagine that sometimes my glucose actually spikes. Sometimes Ý feel
like Ý will pass out and many nights Ý only survived by prayer and
others praying for me. Now Ý realise what's wrong but have no idea
what to do to reduce my insulin and reestablish a normal brain
function.

Do you recommend a ketone diet as emergency measure? And when Ý get
home, what kind of specialist do Ý see?

Thank you so much,
Tanja
