Hi there! It's been a while so I thought it would be nice to come back and post an update. I still haven't had a lot of luck getting the testing I need to diagnose RH (the system here in NB, Canada isn't the easiest to navigate) but I did manage to find out that I have Hashimoto's. From some...

It sounds like our systems are very similar! Incredibly long waits for any specialist are common here too, unfortunately. I haven't heard of glucose dumping, so I'll do some more reading. Thanks for mentioning that, I was never diagnosed with any stomach issues however have suspected a few...

I believe you're right based on what I am seeing. I also seem to spike on the earlier side if my meal isn't as well balanced (around 30 mins) and then down it goes. I would love to have the attention of an endo. Hopefully arming myself with my own data + the tests my physician will conduct will...

I can see through scouring the forum that you provide many with that same guidance. You are very much appreciated! At this moment, I just want to get a documented look at what my body is doing. So your pinned post on monitoring is extremely helpful. I did manage to get my hands on a kit today...

Thank you so much for all of the testing information! I'll discuss those tests with my doctor when I see her next. She seems reluctant to have me monitoring in the meantime, so I've been thinking of just paying out of pocket for now so I can track things as you suggest. Going to stop by my...

Thanks for the info!

Hello! I am so happy I found this forum and appreciate the wealth of information from everyone here. I suspect I have RH and have for quite some time. I experience the telltale symptoms of lows and have had low blood sugar appear on several random blood glucose tests over the years (ranging...
