Hmmmm..... I don't think I can find any of those things here except the consomme and tea/coffee, but great suggestions - thanks! And congrats on the great stats -- AMAZING!!!! :woot:

@Squire Fulwood - ah, I don't think we have that product here in the US. But I'm sure we have something similar. @lindisfel - LOL, yeah, you're right. But this ain't my first rodeo. I think this is my 4th colonoscopy, but this time around I'm having to deal with the RH for the first time.

Thanks, everyone! Sounds like a water and coffee day is in my future. :-)

Anyone here have any suggestions on how to get through the full day of liquid diet on the day before a colonoscopy? The standard instructions from the gastro doc is jello, Italian ice, popsicles, apple juice, etc. I'm afraid if I follow these instructions, I'll spike and crash my glucose. I read...

Makes sense and I totally relate. Thanks for reply.

Hi, Tyyy6 -- Is it possible you spiked really early and crashed within that first hour? The 3 hour coming up and the 4 hour down again sounds like a second spike.

For my readings in the US, that would be about 9 to 18 off, which is about right when I'm in the mid ranges. In the extreme lows, mine can be upwards of 25-30 off, and extreme highs seem to be pretty much spot on. So I find I can't go by the numbers, just the trends. But the trends and the...

Hi, Brunneria -- I was hoping you'd chime in on this. From reading some of your other posts, I suspect we are very similar. I've been gluten free for 9 years now after going through he-double-hockey-sticks trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Bad digestive issues plus ever-worsening...

Yup, that looks familiar. Big spike, big drop. The two subsequent smaller spikes... were they meals or rebounding? I noticed that after I drop I rebound back up without eating anything, then it comes back down to normal range. The rebound isn't nearly as high as the initial spike, but still it...

Thanks, Lamont! I've enjoyed reading many of your posts here. You are definitely on top of this subject. Good to know that 4.8 isn't weird or Abby Normal. I have to say I am so relieved to have figured this RH thing out, and to find such a big online community with similar issues. I thought I...

Hi, all, I have RH, just newly discovered. I've had hypos for many years. Recently they've gotten worse. Last May my doctor recommended getting a glucose monitor. I've recorded numbers as low as 39 (USA), but the problem with the monitor was I wasn't seeing the whole picture. I'd miss the...
