So we are all on very strict diets of counting fats, carbs, sugars, etc. We do this all so well, we should be nutritionists ourselves! However, recently I've been faced with the biggest challenge and I want to share how I feel. I have been experiencing Esophageal spasms. For those who are...

The only way we would really be able to advise what this could be is with blood sugar tests. I would recommend forgetting about sugar now, because if it's causing a serious issue already you could even have hyperglycemia, which is super high blood sugar that your body struggles to control-...

Yeah, I think it's usually more severe. You could have a mild case, but most of us exhibit much more serious issues besides dry mouth. My drops go from almost 120 down to 34 in under two hours, that's what happened the day I did my blood glucose tolerance test. So that's on a body that was...

Alright, thank you, I'll try giving the low carb diet a shot- I'm glad to know it's a popular thing because honestly, eating has become a chore for me and I'd love to revert back to it being something I enjoy. Sent from my LGLS991 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Thank you, I like the forum thus far. And I see a dietician and my doctor often and they check up on me, I don't hardly eat any carbs at all, my huge issue is not eating fast enough or not eating something with enough sustenance to hold me off till my next snack. I eat 6× a day as directed...

I'm a reactive hypo also, and before I was diagnosed I thought it was all in my head...because everyone else said so... Anyway, I find that I can occasionally have a bit more carbs than a typical day if I drink LOTS of water before and during and then almost thirty minutes later, start...

I've been a reactive hypoglycemic for at least 7 years (when the symptoms got noticeable) and it went undiagnosed and untreated for a while. I was officially diagnosed this latest February and since then have been trying to get ahold of my diet and routine. I'm supposed to exercise and such, but...

Hello, I'm a reactive hypoglycemic w/o diabetes. I check my bsl often and I also eat around 6+ times a day. I often face the issue of incorrectly gauging Jew much food to bring with me to work and elsewhere. I also face the issue with muy family failing to buy food that I can actually eat? Any...

Hi, I'm new here too. I'm not diabetic, but I AM a reactive hypoglycemic. I have some advice regarding your anxiety. I find that once my blood sugar starts to drop, I get angry, annoyed, irritable, my skin gets hot, I get anxious and my heart does these crazy palpitations that sometimes lead to...

I am a reactive hypoglycemic W/O diabetes. I tried having a piece of hard candy to suck on ( which as I've heard helps many diabetics) and it only makes things worse. If I drink OJ, on the offchance that there isn't much sugar in it, the acidity in it makes my skin itchy and have a burning...

There are lots of advancements, it's just complicated. There's an insulin pump, that helps type ones a LOT. I'm a reactive hypoglycemic W/O diabetes. Y' know what they suggested to me? To get my pancreas removed and become insulin dependent. Same symptoms, same diet plan, just not as many...

Do you have pets? My kitty, Kumo has been my motivation for a very long time. I am a reactive hypoglycemic, have been since I was 13. I often find myself struggling to prick my finger, which I do almost 20+ times a day. I HATE eating. But I have to, 6+ times a day. It's exhausting. But in all...

Alex, I know exactly how you feel. I'm new to this forum. I am NOT diabetic, or insulin dependent. I am a reactive hypoglycemic: meaning my body produces an excess of insulin after I eat, usually after lots of sugar and/or carbs. I was diagnosed in February, but I've been struggling since I...
