Hi All,
I've just made this account as I'm curious to see if anybody can shine any light on my current situation.
I've had this "issue" for a few years now but it wasn't as common as its become now. If i dont eat within 4-5 hours of my last meal i start getting quite bad symptoms of RH ( shakiness, sweating, dizziness, light-headed, confusion). I try to manage it by eating smaller meals more frequent throughout the day but now that we are in lockdown im starting to see more patterns emerging.
My usual BGL first thing in the morning before breakfast us around 4.5. If i dont eat by around 1.30pm i start getting the above symptoms and my blood sugar is usually around 3.7.
Lets take todays diary for example.
In terms of lifestyle, i eat quite well as im a PT and martial arts instructor so my activity level is quite high too. Funny thing is i never feel this type of dip in sugar levels post workout as long as i eat within an hour of finishing my workout.
I have an appointment with my GP next week to discuss this and hopefully get some tests done.
What do you guys reckon to this? does it sound like i may have RH?
thanks

- 9.30am BGL 4.5
- 9.30am breakfast fried egg with beans and 2 slices of toast
- 2pm symptoms of RH arise and my BGL is at 3.7 (although this is quite high the symptoms hit me like a tonne of bricks)
- 4pm BGL is at 6.4
