Hi, Has anyone tried Metformin for reactive hypoglycemia. My doc recommended a low dose. I've been managing my BG with 3 meals and snacks. I stay aroung 100-120g of complex carbs. My AC1 is now 5.7. I try to space out meals and manage spikes.

Again, thank you!!!

Thank you again Lamont. I'm asking and trying to learn. It gets me down though. I'm not off carbs completely, but have cut back and eating mixed meals. I miss the treats and of course my coffee and it's better than hypos.

It sounds like your doctor and diet have done wonders!! Kathy

It's not a long post. You are helping me understand. I haven't had the mixed meal test done yet, but my doctor is ordering it for me. I have cut out fruit for now and caffeine and have a light load of carbs paired with meat or cheese and some veggies and fats like almond butter or avocado. I...

No meds. If I can't manage with a mixed meal diet, then possibly try Acarbose or Metformin in a low dose. What's your glucose level when you exercise?

Thank you. Yes, I got diagnosed my last endo with RH. SHe said to try mixed meals. Eat protein or fat with carbs. I wear a sensor and I still get some post prandial spikes. They're not too high, 120's (6-6.7) I have had a couple higher spikes. Fasting is at 4.0-4.7

Yes, I have a Freestyle Lebre 3 sensor and a meter.

Thank you so much!! I've seen three endocrinologists. The first one kind of wrote me off, the second thought first it was that I wasn't eating enough carbs and the third said, Reactive Hypoglycemia. She recommended mixed meals. I still get a spike, but not that big. I've notices some starchy...

I have been recently diagnosed as well. I gave up coffee, which is making me feel tired and have a head ache. I am trying to mix whole grains with protein and fat. Do you eat sugar?
