Hello everyone-
So last week my doctor has diagnosed me with reactive hypoglycaemia.
I had my last blood tests around a year ago but have been tracking my symptoms ever since I started to notice how poorly I have been feeling.
Anyway, I have done so much research and am following all of the advice online as my doctor basically said to me "research online and change your diet".
So the weekend just gone I have been feeling so poorly-more than before. I have cut sugars, have really low carbs, no more caffeine (I have been reducing this since last year anyway). But I actually passed out, which has not happened to me before. Saturday night I got into bed and I felt like the world was spinning.
Basically I'm not sure what to do when I feel like that?
I think I need to buy a blood glucose tester machine (I'm sorry, I am so new I dont even know the name of this!)
But please any more advice, or even of things I can ask my doctor for/about would be amazing.
I have made note of a GTT which I will be requesting today, although with covid being as high as it is in our local area I'm sure things are restricted at the moment.
Thankyou so much,
I wish you all safe and well xx
