I can't tell from the article whether they think this is some universal trigger? I have migraines but no insulin resistance issues at all, have not found any food that causes migraines.

Relaxation after stress is a trigger, and menstrual periods were for sure. Though fasting is a slight (not always) trigger, it seems more related to dehydration not blood sugar, electrolytes in water do help prevent fasting migraine.

So I don't think this is the only or even most common migraine trigger, but I can't tell from the article if this is their claim.

My link was being obese/diabetic and having migraines was CPAP use. Have NEVER had a migraine since getting on CPAP and now BiPAP. More than 15 years.

If overweight and snorer, consider some reasearch and talk with your doctor.

(Cured glaucoma, too!)

Personal anecdotes have no value and are against the subs rules

And apparently people can't read the rules posted in this same thread by the automoderator; time for them to take a course in reading amd understanding

precisely! Binge eating fats (like nuts, chocolate, et al) tend to trigger migraines for me as well. However, if I do have a migraine, sometimes it helps when I thoroughly massage my neck and ingest 2 large cups of coffee. It opens up the blood veins and the migraine dissolves like snow in the sun.
