Thanks for your thoughts. Always appreciated.

@Lamont D I got this letter from my consultant. I am feeling very frustrated because there's no acknowledgement of my regular hypos. I've a virtual appointment coming up, so will ask questions, but it seems he doesn't think I've reactive hypoglycemia. I'm wondering if you've any thoughts? Thank you.

Might be the non-alcoholic beer. They can be quite carby...

I've had to return numerous faulty sensors and have never been asked what part of my body I wear it on. I just complete the support form, and it's a simple process. I generally wear it on my upper arm towards the back, but sometimes it's more to the side. Occasionally, I hit a vein, so I'm still...

Thank you @Lamont D That's very interesting. They did take insulin and c-peptide throughout and I should have some results in about 2 weeks.

Just had my MMTT. I thought I'd have a hypo because I often do but didn't come close on this occasion. They almost aborted to give me insulin at the 2 hour mark but decided to keep going. I've no idea what any of this means but not reactive hypoglycemia, it would appear. Just have to wait for my...

I've an appointment to get antibody tests in March, so I'll let you know too. [emoji1696]

I find your experience with hypos when walking particularly interesting because that's exactly what happens to me. Hopefully, we'll get answers.

I don't have a low heart rate, but do have low blood pressure. Generally about 96/65...

It's quite reassuring to find people in the same position. My endo says he hasn't come across anyone like me before!! My c-peptide is also on the low end of normal. MODY ruled out, so hopefully getting closer to a proper diagnosis.

Hi there. I'm in a very similar position to you, but a bit further down the line. Was diagnosed with type 2 over 18 months ago. I've a low BMI and generally eat a lowish carb diet, so was very surprised when I was diagnosed. I, too, was prediabetic for a few years. I often get hypos during...

The hospital wrote to my GP to say my C-peptide was 429 a year ago and is now 309. It was described as being on the "lower side". I'm being brought back for insulin antibody tests and a mixed meal test soon. Can anyone explain the c-peptide thing, please? What is considered normal, and what does...

I go to about 3.5. The lowest I've gone to is 2.9. I eat a relatively low carb diet and I'm not overweight in any way. When I eat a small amount of carbs I can be up to 16 two hours after, then drop quickly over the next or 3 hours. The appointment letter told me the appointment would be about 6...

I've been a type 2 for about 18 months now but have been experiencing hypos for years. Sometimes about 4 hours after a carby meal (not always), but always after activity (e.g. a 30 minute walk or mowing the lawn). After battling for months for a referral, I finally saw a very sympathetic...

Hi..Was this by any chance after any exertion of some kind? I'm a type 2 with RH, and I find I go low post-carb spike but also post-exertion, and by exertion, that could be as simple as vacuuming or a short walk.

I was taken off it as a test over the summer and my HBA1C jumped significantly without changes to my diet so I think it's doing something. [emoji848]

I'm only on metformin at the moment. Being brought back a follow-up in the next month or so... and happy to hear things more than once - more chance of me remembering!

This is really helpful. Thank you. It's because of other posts of yours that I pursued looking at RH with the doctor. Haven't had a test though so I'll fight for one.

Thank you. Same to you. It is exhausting swinging from high to low to high!

I've been getting hypos for years and was also diagnosed with T2 a year ago. I've been shouting into a void for years about my hypos, but now that I self test, I can finally show evidence of them. At a recent hospital appointment, the doctor said I'm likely to have T2 and RH together, which is...
