For me, reactive hypoglycaemia was stage 1.
Stage 2 was reactive hypoglycaemia and prediabetes at the same time.
Stage 3 is type 2 diabetes.
Ironically I feel better now at 47 than in all of the previous 45 years. Type 2 is like being on holiday compared to the grindingly inconsistent hypos.
We are all very different, nosher, but the amount of carbs that you are eating would have set me up for recurring hypos unless I ate pretty much constantly, keeping an artificially high BG.
I learned to avoid the carb highs, then reactive lows, by eating slower release proteins and fats.
Something like a mixed grill would actually make me very comfortable (like I could relax, finally) for hours.
