Hi, all,
I have RH, just newly discovered. I've had hypos for many years. Recently they've gotten worse. Last May my doctor recommended getting a glucose monitor. I've recorded numbers as low as 39 (USA), but the problem with the monitor was I wasn't seeing the whole picture. I'd miss the initial spike and just see the lows. But 2 weeks ago my NEW doctor got me a Freestyle Libre and it was a lightbulb moment. I could see the high GI carb meals spiking my sugars up to nearly 200, then plummeting to extreme lows. Wow. Ain't technology wonderful?
Anyway, the reason for my post..... do any of you with RH have low A1C numbers? I keep reading that RH is potentially pre-diabetes. My A1C is 4.8. Obviously it's not dangerously low, but it's certainly lower than what I've seen as "normal". Anyone else have numbers in the sub-5 percent range?
