[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 684541, member: 41816"] I was never diagnosed. I first came across a book about hypoglycaemia when I was about 17 - and it described me perfectly. And that is what started me on the low carbing - been doing that, gradually more and more strictly, for about 30 years now. I went through periods of inhaling carbs, RH symptoms and weight gain, and periods of strict low carb, stable weight, and blissfully RH free. Tried to ask for help from several doctors, over the years, but none of them even believed my symptoms were real. I was offered sleeping tablets, antidepressents and anti-anxiety meds, at various times. thank goodness I refused each time! Eventually, all the over-use of my insulin producing capacity seemed to move me into pre-diabetes, then type 2 diabetes. for a while I had both - raised bg from insulin deficiency, followed by too low bg from the insulin driving it down too far. Thank fully, low carbing has knocked that on the head. But it is only in the last year, with my blood glucose meter, and all the information about low carbing that is available from members of this forum, that I have hammered my RH into submission, and I could easily see it returning, if I mess with carbs too much.
