    Thanks for further replies. I don't have covid. The world is in a covid frenzy and acting like there are no other illnesses or ailments. What remaining small amount of trust I had in my GP has now completely evaporated and I am even more disinclined to go anywhere near a doctor again. I told...

    Urgent advice needed.

    Just phoned the doc and the receptionist said the are closed and not seeing anyone. They are moving premises. A GP phoned me back and said they would not see me anyway because of the corona. She said my hot head could be coronavirus and I must get a test. None of the doctors will see me. She...

    Rokaab. I did also describe my symptoms to her, symptoms that I had describe to one doctor after another over a period of 17 years 1983-2000. I'd had the same doc here for 8 years. They all failed to find any solution. She the naturopath suggested RH and when I went home and googled the...

    I'm really scared now, that you think I need a doctor. Could I just be coming down with a cold, Brummeria? I'm really so very scared.

    Oh dear! The hypos went away yesterday afternoon, other than being a bit headachey I was fine all evening and night. Now it's started up again. I feel really scared, my face is burning hot, my body is shaking and I feel panicky again. I got up at 7am and to make sure my BG did not drop I...

    Thank you for your post and thank you also for making me feel so welcome. I'm sooo relieved and grateful to be finally out of that terrifying hypo, that will keep me on track for a bit, out of sheer fear of having another.

    Many thanks for the additional replies. I have decided to put a really concerted effort into planning to maintain a very low carb diet. It's so obviously the right and sensible thing to do. The only thing stopping me is the craving for something indulgent, a treat. I gave up eating all grains...

    Hi Anje I can't quite recall but she made me lay on a couch and she did various muscle./allergy tests and asked loads of questions. It was a lifetime ago. But what I do remember was that I'd had a set of symptoms for 17 years by then and no doctor had ever suggested blood glucose problems. No...

    Thank you Brunneria my personal suspicion is that you have unintentionally set up the rollercoaster by over treating the hypo to start with.... My advice (from one RHer to another), is to sit down and eat a good, nutritious meal. I can see the sense in that -- I think I must suffer from acute...

    Thank you both for replying. I don't have a BS monitor because I only have hypos 3 or 4 times a year and they are soon put right with 500ml of juice. I had one when a T1 friend was staying at my house and he gave me a blood test. It was 6.9 which he said is normal. We then had a bit of an...

    20 yrs ago I was diagnosed by a naturopath with reactive and fasting hypoglycaemia. I gave up sugar for a while, then found that I never got any "crashes" any more so long as I was careful -- by which I mean, I would no longer drink regular cola, or eat a bag of cherries on an empty stomach. I...
