Yeah I guess it was probably just wishful thinking lol. I know regardless my glucose metabolism is still not healthy as the spikes and dramatic drops are not normal anyway. Its just been disheartening after my last experience with the endo, he was very much giving off the impression there is...

@Lamont D Hi again! Oddly enough the past couple of weeks I haven't been experiencing any lows, it still spikes high and drops dramatically but hasn't been dropping any lower than 4.5ish or causing symptoms. Is it common for reactive hypoglycemia to just resolve itself? I haven't really changed...

Hi @Lamont D, just an update. The doctor I previously described has sent a letter to my gp. I honestly don't know what to do with that or think about it. On the day as I previously described he told me my sugars went to 3.2 (what they caught) it was 2.8 at its lowest on my meter which I...

Sorry for this odd question but do any ladies with RH find their BG is more unpredictable and erratic during menstruation? Mine specifically drops quite dramatically and becomes harder to manage with more lows but equal spikes. Usually I'll spike to around 9-11ish after certain meals which is...

Also, would it work to ask them to write to my gp since it was the endo that denied me a glucometer? Also does having RH put you on the register for diabetes? And as far as I'm aware they are going to schedule the 72 hour fast, just may be waiting a while

Thank you both for your responses! I will have a look at the glucometer options. @Lamont D I am surprised at the different feedbacks from our endo's. Yours saying you would need to prove you have good control to be able to drive, Whereas mine was so unconcerned he didn't even think I should even...

@Lamont D Hi! I went to see a consultant endocrinologist about my OGTT. He told me I have reactive hypoglycemia. It wasn't the same doctor that originally ordered the tests. I asked him the results of my insulin cpeptide, he asked if my doctor ordered that and I said he did, he was interested in...

Also the nurse didn't give me anything for the hypo during the test, they don't abandon the test unless it goes below 3, on her reader I was on 3.3, but I was in a low for about 1 1/2 hours. After she made me eat toast and coffee before I left which spiked me up to about 10 then back into a hypo...

Hey! Well actually I asked the nurse how I go about getting my results, do I contact my gp or call the hospital? And she said 'no the hospital will contact you, you will most likely be brought back in to find out and discuss'? I did the test on the 28th September, so I thought November was a...

Hi guys I have done my OGTT, I haven't recieved my results yet, I have an appointment in a couple of weeks. About 2.5 hr in I started feeling slightly bad, I told the nurse I didn't feel I was actually too low, she checked on her reader and I was at 4.4, I checked mine at the same time and it...

Yes I think he said he wanted to order an extended OGTT, which will be 5 hours long. Just to see if I go into a low and how my body reacts after, if it shoots me back up or what the pattern will be after, while measuring insulin levels to gain a bigger picture. He did also mention at the end...

*Update* So I saw an endocrinologist, well, he asked me about my symptoms and I showed him data from my libre to show the spikes and drops. He straight up said he had no idea what is wrong. I mentioned I've spoken to a few people who went through the same thing that had LADA, he said he would...

Hi thank you for your response! Do you know what causes reactive hypoglycemia without underlying issues? I'm just wondering why this would randomly start happening to me in the last 8 months or so! But even more recently it seems I'm spiking easier than before and staying high for longer before...

Hi thanks for the response! How long did it take for your BG to rise to such levels? Did the reactive hypoglycemia stop as the rise became higher? I have an appointment with an endo on the 6th so hopefully get some answers

There is also glucose in my urine sometimes but not often
