Diabetic brain fog

All last winter I had it after breakfast just want to cruise the cat videos and go back to bed.

Probably the rice I eat past winter....so this fall I got some Ginseng caps ....but I didn't realize I ordered a mega dose ,7500mg caps. The first one left me feeling is like I took a dangerous drug. Not stoned but a feeling more like high blood pressure in the brain. It did help me paint for about 5 Hours. Very tired at the end.

(I take Carbondale that keeps my heart tiking at low rate . So I'm not worried about speed)
But I do need to check my blood pressure.

I need to figure how to cut in half....saving one half without it oozing out.

What else can I do. B1 helps but too much caffeine is good , except for the after effects. I just keep reminding my self that I am ,76 decrepit years old. And should be painting only for fun. But even that takes a lot of consintration.......

I can't stand abstract paintings, and they sell for much less than what paint.

I keep thinking there may be a pharmaceutical component that I need, magnesium and B vitamins?.....and exercise that is just too painfull for my edema and arthritis.

My so called doctors are not any real help. If I try to talk to them about eating fat. They preach to me about fat and I tell they are wrong. But they don't know anything about keto. Other than it will give what ?? It already given me hyper-insulinnimia. I'm afraid to take insulin now. Like the only choice is to find cheap keto recipes ...

How much fat can I eat?

I found a good video that explained it all except what hyper-insulin-imia is.

Depends on what the fat is. ????

We say fat is the carb cutter. There was one diet ?expert? who said he viewed all food as only a means to get more olive oil into the body. Olive oil, if it has not gone over to being somewhat rancid, is extremely good for the heart, vascular system, and some say, for losing weight.

Also, what our blood sugar is.

They might want to avoid a discussion about keto diet. Do you have , for free, access to a Diabetic Diet Educator?

Yes. But she lives by the book. And I'm not sure about olive oil because it can't be as good as the advertising says.

I think the whole medical system is vested in selling what ever they believe in. And that is a matter of advertising as much as false research shows the altered Mediterranean is going to keep us all alive as long as we keep taking statens. I have to make compromises.

I have never been much of a dead meat eater. But I have to eat something. And sense I can't trust any one, I have to experiment.

I've heard that people, non-diabetics, could eat a lot of carbs, or a lot of fats, but both together spells disaster. Your video alluded to that. He also said that a lot of glucose and/or insulin spelled disaster as for as arterial inflammation.

As far as how much fat, a keto diet macro breakdown is typically 70-80% of total calories coming from fats, 15-20% of total calories from proteins, and 5-10% of total calories coming from carbohydrates. With fats having 9 kcal per gram and proteins and carbs having 4 kcal per gram, its not as hard as to do as you would think. You don't really have to get to keto levels with the fats.

I watched the Big Fat Fiasco not long after finding this forum. It is a 5 part series on YouTube about how bad science that was supposed to reduce heart disease actually sparked an increase in obesity, diabetes, and other risk factors of increased heart disease.

I wouldn't be too afraid of saturated fats, olive, avocado, or coconut oils, but would steer away from seed and vegetable oils.
