Re: severe reactive hypoglycemia please help

Have you tried testing 2 eggs without the porridge? That's what I often eat for breakfast, sometimes with cheese as well, and coffee with cream. My BG hardly budges.

Re: severe reactive hypoglycemia please help

I would try a couple of days without breakfast cereal as Etty has suggested. If I have porridge (or any type of cereal :( ) I will spike up to the high teens then drop into the 3s within an hour.

I've given up on cereals for breakfast now and normally have eggs, cheese, nuts or meat (sausage/bacon), sometimes some fried tomatoes or mushrooms. These have very little impact on my BG levels.
