[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 949975, member: 85785"] Sorry bit late to work and travelling last night!:rolleyes: Hi [USER=209546]@reverseosmosis[/USER] Ok to start, your eating habits are not good for RH. Eating things like milk, banana, oatmeal, rice milk, ice cream, you are literally putting petrol on a fire! All of them are full of carbs. And the one thing we RH ers, can't have in more than very small quantities is food that has carbs in. Your fears and anxieties are symptomatic with RH. I have done the multi day fasting. It is a 72 hour fasting test. And while the stay in hospital was awful, the test results were good for me. It discounted all other conditions except it proved I had RH. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, will show how quickly you spike and then if you hypo. That is important, but the long fast can eliminate cancer and pancreatitis. You will need one eventually, if you want a thorough diagnosis. You definitely need a blood glucose monitor! How will you know what is going on what your food is doing to you? You are only guessing. If you have a certain issues with a endocrinologist, then get your GP to refer you to another hospital. I travel to Manchester to see mine and he is brilliant! You don't need or want complex carbs or any carbs at all, you can live without them, I do and other RH ers do. And we are fitter and healthier because of that. You will only find out if you eat to your meter and test and experiment and record it in your food diary. If you don't want to live in hypo hell, then don't! I won't ever again on purpose! If I have a hypo, my last after an OGTT, I have a plain biscuit and a cuppa, no milk, no sugar. Which brings me back to normal levels slowly but surely, and I don't spike! The methods you post will have your blood glucose levels bouncing all over the place. Your questions 1. Don't use glucose tablets, no way! 2. Don't use glucose drinks, no way! 3. A plain biscuit and a cuppa. 4. I don't go into hypo because I don't eat carbs. 5. If you really feel bad, then phone for help. But the treatment you will get will be wrong! I carry a necklace and a card in my wallet describing my condition and my treatment of it. The medics aren't trained in treating RH. But prevention is much better, not going high to not go low. Don't go hyper, you don't go hypo! Control is the key to unlock your healthier lifestyle! You are worried and concerned, but if you follow the advice from these knowledgeable posters, you will get better and feel better. The anxiety you feel is symptomatic of RH! There are a lot of symptoms. Have a read of the Wikipedia page on RH, there is quite a bit of information on there. Keep the questions coming, you need to understand the condition and how to be in control. Hope this helps. Welcome to our unique club! [/QUOTE]
