Hi, I'm not sure, blurred vision is a symptom of up and down blood sugar. It can be either, but I suspect it's dropping.
Don't give up, see it through, being in ketosis is the best treatment for RH.
As you say very little carbs upset you, you don't need them. Get your balance of protein and fats, vegetables and food that doesn't spike you.
It works.
Why would you want to be ill? Best wishes

I've replied on the RH forum.
Don't call me sir, I work for a living!!!

Hi, I usually don't eat breakfast, but if I do, eggs, boiled, ham salad for lunch, then chicken, pork for tea, then Greek yogurt and chocolate with fruit. Small pieces of fruit instead of snacks.

You might have to watch how much fruit you eat!
I try to be as low carb as possible, avoid anything that isn't saturated fat. Eat small meals anytime, don't stick to regular mealtimes. If you are not hungry, don't eat because it's lunch, dinner etc.

Hopefully, your dietician Isis better and more low carb savvy than mine. All I can add is that the condition is dietary controlled. Avoid food that makes you ill

What is the problem with viewing the RH forum?

Hi Lamont. Thanks for your reply. My meal consisted of 2 scrambled eggs, a thin slice of well buttered wholemeal toast, a quarter of a small sour apple and a glass of water. Update: I had the same breakfast today with some soya milk instead of the apple however my BS went up to 7.0 from a fasting of 4.7. I don't know where I'm going wrong. I hypoed a lot the week before so expect I may be on the glucose swing again.

From a fasting BS of say 4.5, what rise in my BS do you think I should be aiming for? I am testing every day hoping that my peaks get smaller.

I'd say that was absolutely fine.

Hi, mela, yes your results are normal.
RH is a condition by itself, it is not diabetic.
It is a condition when you have too much insulin and your beta cells are not doing their job. It does not cause diabetes, but can lead to type two if not controlled for years.
I was diagnosed four years ago.
Best wishes

@elizabethmorrison Would you like to post this message on the open forum rather than as a comment on your profile?

Before I do, I would try and answer any questions you have in either the open forum or by pm.
It might be beneficial to have your problems on our forum because others might have an answer to why you feel this way. My endocrinologist is quite a distance away from Northamptonshire.
Please do post, there is a lot of information that can be learned by our experience.
Thanks, Nosher.

You have to be careful with exercise, as that will raise y out blood glucose levels, whereas walking and swimming will gently lower it.
Being in normal blood glucose range is the best way to go, have you a monitor?

Have you been tested for RH? Or one of the other forms of hypoglycaemia.
Low carb and control is critical to being healthy.
Eating little and often is always the best way to cope with low bloods.

Hi, can you get on the blog home page?
Can you search 'a reactionary'?

I can't see why you can't access blogs!
Maybe tag a moderator!

Hi I've just used search button. Type in 'a reactionary' and fill in by member nosher8355, then scroll down to the bottom it should be there.

No my mate, metformin is a long life tablet, it works long term.
It will not have a sudden impact on your bloods.
A six is in the normal range. I take it the test was either fasting or two hours after eating.
