I'm trying to go as low as 15 grams of carbs in a meal. I'm feeling very weak, lethargic and tired. When my bc went to 3.8 i also experienced (lack of oxygen to the brain as well as not being able to make a sentence). I had to ask my neighbour to come over and stay with me for an hour or so...

I had symptoms at 3.8. Not sure why though but it's taken me two whole days to recover.

Thank you Lamont. And you are right the dietitian isn't really much help as the foods that she recommends that i eat send me into a hypo. The truth is at the moment this all feels like hell. But i'm so ever thankful that i have peers who not only live the rh life but are also here to educate and...

I don't know how to do that. I have only managed to upload my picture. At the moment i'm diet based. Along with a dietitian we are trying to work out what i can and cannot eat.

Not yet, I have to get my GP to write a letter to my health insurance company to get the meter and am waiting for the Australian Diabetes Institute to accept my diagnosis so as to be eligible for the discounted blood glucose strips as they can be quite expensive in Australia. I just go by my...

Sorry, I should have stated that i was RH and not diabetic. When I joined the forum I only had the prediabetic option to place under my profile. So i apologise for confusing you with my post.

I'm not sure where or not caffeine consumption affects everyone with hypoglycaemia or not but i do know that it affects me. My hypoglycaemia was diagnosed as reactive hypoglycaemia which has something to do with the adrenals /cortisol and stress hormones and how it reacts to both stress and...

Today is the first day that i haven't had coffee. So far i'm not symptomatic, but in saying that i'll have to continue for a few days to see whether it helps or whether it's just a one off thing. I'm not sure why the coffee affects me so much since i only drink it black with no sugar/substitute...

Good morning all, Just a very concerning question. How many of you drink coffee in the morning just after waking? I have been drinking coffee for years and mostly to increase my hypotension (low blood pressure. But lately i have noticed that drinking coffee in the a.m. straight after waking is...

Oh, I'm sorry. If you have all nut allergies then the other substitutes would be Granola butter, Soy nut butter, Sunflower seed butter, Tahini. I'm not sure if they are available in your country or whether you may need to order them online. Other than that i honestly wouldn't know. Sorry

Other than peanut butter there's cashew and almond butter. Hope this helps.

I have a question. I have ordered Berberine to see if it would help with my blood glucose and whether or not it would stabilise me for the day. Has anyone here tried it and has it worked?

I'm in Australia.

Lamont, Thank you for the welcome. The glucose tolerance test was a 2 hour test with a 75 gram glucose drink that not only made me sleepy after ingesting it but also gave me major symptoms three hours after ingesting the drink.

Good morning to all, I have recently been diagnosed with reactive hypoglycaemia. The diagnosis was after a fasting glucose test my blood sugars dropped to a low of 1.8. That was back in February, after many months of symptoms. Before the hypoglycaemic event i suffered and was told that i had...
