Hi I’m new!! I was diagnosed with Reactive Hypoglycemia around 2017-ish and I had never heard of such a thing. I got tested for the 4 or 5(?) hour glucose test. Before this I experienced extreme fatigue after eating to the point where I wanted to fall asleep ( and sometime did lol) after eating especially lunch. Pains near the liver/pancreas area ( still not sure about this) and food intolerances out of nowhere all occurred around the same time/year.
i don’t remember my exact reading of the glucose test but I was told it was normal at the lab facility then the next day the dr told me I had reactive hypoglycemia and basically I’ve been confused ever sense lol. Anyway I was told I didn’t need to monitor my sugar I just needed to eat 6 meals a day and I’ll be fine. (3 meals/ 3 snacks) eat protein.
Since then the pains have now gone away BUT I have some serious issues. I feel like I’m CRAVING carbs/sugar which of course starts a cycle of highs a lows. I have heart palpitations, sweating at night at times. I’m woken up at night literally every night between 2am-4am (not sure if that’s related). At times tremors/ miny seizures
after eating symptoms: extremely moody, fatigue/ tiredness, headaches, nausea, brain fog. Sometimes I’m really hungry then most nights I have no hunger at all after 6 or 7 pm
at this point im even having sysmptoms in “normal” readings. However I just bought a new meter to check ( still haven’t used yet
last year my fasting BG was over 100 (USA) which is high. Then this October I did labs and they noticed my heart rate was thru the roof. Now I had been feeling horrible that whole week so they did labs and my BG was 57!!! Which is extremely low. Felt like I was going to pass out.
im having a hard time following the diet because I’m craving foods I shouldn’t then If I get nauseous I’m not eating dinner some nights. Idk what to do! I know this is a horrible cycle cause I’ll wake up with symptoms.
I should note then even if I’m eating a meal with no or few carbs (or even just meat and a no carb veggie) I’ll still feel bad!! Idk what to do I’m desperate. I have a meeting with a dietician 12/31.
