[QUOTE="yetta2mymom, post: 1582291, member: 279057"] Hi Standard reactive hypoglycemia is very low blood sugar after 1 hour + after taking sugar in a glucose tolerance test. What happens is that the blood sugar rises and then heads south and just keeps going until you get very low blood sugar. I guess what is happening is that you are supposed to release hormones to produce insulin resistance so that you do not get very low blood sugar. Fortunately, the emergency reaction where you release the hormones when you blood sugar becomes too low is not disabled. So you release the hormones and then the liver changes fat into sugar and the emergency ends. Some people end the emergency by eating sugar/starch. For the standard reactive hypoglycemia this works. For us that can lead to another episode about 3 1/2 hours later. [/QUOTE]
