    RH and Pregnancy- labor included

    I would speak to the hospital and make it very clear you have to eat but cannot have glucose. During my last (and final!) labour I wasn’t allowed to eat as there was a strong chance I would need a c section (I had an emergency one with my first). I was unaware I had RH at this point, but did...

    Very Tired On Low Carb Breakfast

    I think you need to take your lifestyle into consideration too. In the early days after my RH diagnosis, I got some fantastic advice from the good people on this forum and reduced my carbs. In my case, I couldn’t get through the “carb flu” period, with days where I was so tired and could barely...

    Rh V Wedding Buffet

    I think it’s a hotel but not 100% sure. It’s one of my Husbands work colleagues. He said he could email the bride to be (who is organising it all. The groom knew next to nothing when my husband spoke to him), but didn’t want to be pain as they probably have enough to think about. I hate being...

    Rh V Wedding Buffet

    Hi all, hope you’re keeping well. Haven’t posted for a while, but still check in regularly to see how everyone’s getting on. I have a wedding to attend on Friday (just the evening do), but having learned what the food options are I have to say I’m a little stumped! [emoji848] Hoping to get...

    The Misery Of Reactive Hypoglycemia

    Hi lozzinthespace and welcome. I just wanted to say that I’ve been where you are so I can fully sympathise and empathise! I’ve also now come out the other side and live a relatively full life. Yes my diet is restricted compared to those around me and sometimes this gets me down, but it has...

    So many questions!

    Hi Emily and welcome to the forum. Well done for getting a formal RH diagnosis as many seem to struggle with this! I was diagnosed almost 4 years ago now and after many months of experimenting with food and feeling pretty rotten at times, I have now practically eliminated most of the symptoms...

    Freestyle lite scanners

    Thank you. I’m wondering now if I’ve done the right thing informing them! Neither my GP or Endo advised me to notify the DVLA, so not sure if I needed to. Better to be safe than sorry though I guess. I haven’t had a true hypo (by which I mean a bs reading under 4) since my last eOGTT. Since...

    Freestyle lite scanners

    I’m pretty good thanks. I seem to have found a diet that works well for me. Some days I can go 5-6 hours between meals without a hypo, which is a situation I never thought I’d be in! It’s brilliant! How are things with you? Are you keeping well? Do you drive? Have you informed the DVLA of your...

    Freestyle lite scanners

    Hi @Linagirl, good to hear from you again. Sorry to hear your bs isn’t playing nicely. The Libra sensors have already been around the £50 mark unfortunately. I hope it gives you some answers. Are you still low carb? All the best Kaz

    False Hypos

    After I was diagnosed with RH I reduced my carb intake and for quite some time afterwards would feel hypo when my BS was low 5’s. This of course baffled my Endo, but looking back I now realise that it was just my body adjusting to being at lower levels. Providing I eat what I know keeps me...

    Dealing with illness

    Hi @62Rose, I realise this is a little late and hopefully you’re over your bug and feeling much better now. Whenever I have a stomach bug (which happens all too often with having young children!), I tend to eat grapes to keep my levels up. Just 2 or 3 whenever I feel my bs is lower than I’d...

    Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas

    Generally good thanks @Lamont D. Had a few odd bs readings over Christmas but putting it down to being out of routine. Late nights, Christmas parties etc. Hope you’re keeping well. Best wishes to you and your family. Here’s to a happy and healthy New Year for us all. Kaz

    Self diagnosing noob - Am I doing this right?

    Hi @DodgyD, my experience would suggest you may be wasting your time in returning to the UK, from the perspective that regular follow up visits and check ups don't appear to be necessary. Although a definite diagnosis and tests to rule out other possible conditions would be prudent and hopefully...

    New to this forum and to HG

    Hi @JDub and welcome to the forum. I can't add any more to the very good advice you have already been given on here, but wanted to give you my experience. I have suffered with CFS for many years and last year was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (although I don't think I truly have it!). I was also...
