I got the result of HbA1c . It was 41 and 5.9% ! I am very happy with it .. I did not do any diet when I was travelling.. before travelling it was 36 and 5.4%. So it became a bit high , but I expect it . Fasting blood sugar was 5.6 mmol/L .. it was not too bad at all .. I will keep low carb diet...

I was so pleased when you mentioned you were taking Sitagliptin, because I was taking it ( I could not take any other medication such as Metformin, Jardiance and Diamicron).. so I felt being lucky to get the same medicine for the reactive hypoglycemia. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes...

Thank you very much for your warm words, Lamont ! I don’t know why I have quite a few rare conditions .. I used to have fasting, reactive and exercise hypoglycemia.. but now it is better ! Today I had ham and cheese croissant at our regular cafe , 2 hours later my Blood sugar was 6.6 ! I was...

Wow ! England weather is so temperamental? I was rather lucky , when I stayed there weather was fine , only one day a bit of rain when I went to palace. Your blood sugar pattern is similar to mine , but mine is going low a bit slower. I can eat buckwheat noodles ( it raised 7.5 not too bad )...

Oh no… in the 2’s ? It is too low , Melgar.. you can’t fast like me .. I also asked C-peptide and autoantibodies, just in case . The result was I am not type 1. We’d better check it. Reactive hypoglycemia may develop type 1 or 2 diabetes.. Hypo is so complicated .. Are you insulin sensitive ...

Yes, Lamont , I had received the result of gastroscopy, it was normal . What a relief ! My father and uncle passed away with stomach cancer …. So I was worried .. London hotel was awful, which I thought it awful before hand . Next one was good ! Rome was too hot , we had to withdrew in the...

Wow ! That is a trouble for you .. hypo during night is hard . But if it is reactive hypoglycemia, it corrects itself soon . That happened to me.. Yes, it was like a roller coaster .. it is very hard .. we all have that . I heard it was worse than always high people. So I tried keto diet, but it...

Yes, Lamont , I am curious too .. Before I had fasting hypoglycemia , one example is when I drove my car ( nearly 2 hours ) to my friend’s garage for service without breakfast. I had to ask them for a warm water with sugar when I arrived there. I did not have fasting hypo recently, my fasting...

I have reactive hypoglycemia, but also I have fasting hypoglycemia as well . This morning I had gastroscopy and colonoscopy, so I was fasting 36hours with just clear fluid diet for preparation. A nurse tested my blood sugar , it was 4.9mmol/L. Still in normal range, but usually around 6.0.. I...

I could not take Metformin at all . It made me so sick, I thought I was going to die . Alter that I found out that I could not take both Diamicron and Jardiance . Now I am on Januvia.. Metformin is not for everyone…

Hi I had a glucose tolerance test , then doctors ignored my hypo and I was diagnosed with diabetes. At first , my doctor prescribed me Metformin, then I became so ill. I could not explain it well enough, but I had a fatigue and doomed feeling, so scared , I thought I was going to die. I told my...

Thank you very much for your reply , Lamont ! I don’t have insulin resistance , but I may develop it later .. we never know .. Even under Keto diet , my fasting blood sugar is sometimes shockingly high , but it does not cause hypo …lol But after meal’s sugar level was always good . So I am...
