Gosh I thought 12 hrs was bad enough, can't imagine 72. Fry up it is then, now at least I know what to eat if it happens again. Thank you Brun and Lamont

Your reaction sounds very much like mine. I drove my car 3 miles home out of town. I totally know this was the wrong thing to do now but I really didn't know what was happening at the time as this was my test before I was diagnosed. It also took me a couple of days to get over it. I had a bowl...

Hi just looking for a little advice again When I had my oral glucose test, I was really feeling under the weather when I got home with severe shakes/jelly legs and very faint! What should I have eaten when I got home and was it ok for me to sleep it off, which is what I did, for most of the day...

Got my monitor today, had a little play. Home from work - 4.5 Half an hour after tea - 5.9 2 hrs after tea - 5 I'm not sure what it means but seems to be quite steady :) I've been very strict and it's definitely paying off, feeling so much better.

I haven't had any fruit today, so it's looking like that is a no no. That's good to know about dairy products, I had no idea! There's so much to learn but I'm definitely going in the right direction :) thank you

Just wanting to share, I'm having such a good day today Big smiles, I'm so hoping it's not short lived but feel like I've turned a corner for the moment anyway! So grateful to all you guys for your help and giving me a better understanding of what I need to do.

Hi Derek, I have ordered a codefree monitor, hopefully it'll be here before long as I'm still having regular hypos even although I've changed my diet. I'm thinking I have a problem with either dairy or fruit. Thank you for your reply

They're not oral glucose tests, he said they've got all the info needed from the one I had last week. I was tested at 2 hrs after sugary drink and was too low but I could feel I was getting unwell about an hr after. I'm not sure if it's just to see what my readings are in the morning, as the...

Perfect, thanks

Could you recommend a monitor for me to get please? Thank you

Hi LamontD, I don't know which type of RH I am, my doc has arranged for another 2 fasting blood tests 2 wks apart, maybe that will give more answers? He also didn't think I needed a monitor but after reading some posts on here I realise a monitor is a good idea. I have a food diary and a list of...

Thank you Brunneria, I'm so pleased I've found this forum. I'm sure there's going to be many highs and lows along the way but to know I'm not alone means a lot x

Thank you Resurgam that's very reassuring x

Thank you

I've just had the doc on the phone and he said I have RH but not to dwell on it and to try and get back to normal activities asap! He's putting me in touch with a dietitian, I think getting back to normal activities is easier said than done at this moment :(
