So it became a bit high , but I expect it . Fasting blood sugar was 5.6 mmol/L .. it was not too bad at all .. I will keep low carb diet...

I was so pleased when you mentioned you were taking Sitagliptin, because I was taking it ( I could not take any other medication such as Metformin, Jardiance and Diamicron).. so I felt being lucky to get the same medicine for the reactive hypoglycemia. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes...

Wow ! England weather is so temperamental? I was rather lucky , when I stayed there weather was fine , only one day a bit of rain when I went to palace. Your blood sugar pattern is similar to mine , but mine is going low a bit slower. I can eat buckwheat noodles ( it raised 7.5 not too bad )...

Oh no… in the 2’s ? It is too low , Melgar.. you can’t fast like me .. I also asked C-peptide and autoantibodies, just in case . The result was I am not type 1. We’d better check it. Reactive hypoglycemia may develop type 1 or 2 diabetes.. Hypo is so complicated .. Are you insulin sensitive ...

Yes, Lamont , I am curious too .. Before I had fasting hypoglycemia , one example is when I drove my car ( nearly 2 hours ) to my friend’s garage for service without breakfast. I had to ask them for a warm water with sugar when I arrived there. I did not have fasting hypo recently, my fasting...

I have reactive hypoglycemia, but also I have fasting hypoglycemia as well . This morning I had gastroscopy and colonoscopy, so I was fasting 36hours with just clear fluid diet for preparation. A nurse tested my blood sugar , it was 4.9mmol/L. Still in normal range, but usually around 6.0.. I...
