Thanks. I have been counting my calories and am eating enough. I haven’t lost any weight in the past two months. I have a CGM and I stay between 4 and 6

Hello, I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia around 3 weeks ago. I have read through a lot of posts on this forum (that's been so helpful!) And I think I've been quite lucky getting a quick diagnosis. I had my first hypo requiring hospital treatment in February this year. My...
