[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1002073, member: 41816"] The process you describe is called Reactive Hypoglycaemia. (bg rises sharply after carbs, then drops to below the starting level giving feelings of hunger, carb cravings and sometimes hypo feelings) Some people get it all the time and live in an endless hypo hell - and they don't have to be diabetics, either. A reactive hypoglycaemic can drop down to 2mmol/l on occasion and feel very ill. Most people just dip into the 3s and 4s and think 'goodness, I am suddenly hungry - I should eat soon!' It is very common to get it [I][B]mildly[/B][/I], occasionally, sometimes with bad eating, sometimes if we are tired, sometimes with hormonal cycles. Generally, it is triggered by carb intake, so avoiding carbs on their own, or big doses of carbs is best. People who get RH seriously tend to find that going very low carb is the best form of control. We have a RH board on the forum for people who experience it regularly. [/QUOTE]
