    I'm 61, newly diagnosed and just starting to come to grips with the funny eating. Before RH was suspected, I had several weeks of a very low exercise tolerance (getting exhausted and breathless after 15 minutes of walking, and swimming totally out of the question). It is starting to slowly...

My endocrinologist suspects reactive hypoglycaemia and has referred me for a five hour glucose tolerance test on a day ward in hospital to be clearer about, is it reactive hypoglycaemia or fasting hypoglycaemia. I am to not eat for 5...
