Hello and thank you for your reply. I had an extended glucose tolerance test done in hospital with a laboratory result of 2.1 Regards. Atlantico

My 'normal'BG is around 5.2 and when I drop to 5 my thigh muscles start seizing up and I get symptoms similar to hypos and these get worse the lower I go. I feel at my best around 5.6 but my problem is, if I use sugar based things to pick me up, the sugar causes me to have dreadful pains behind...

Hi, thanks for your advice. I am going to add more salt, also fluid and see if it makes any difference. Regards

Thank you for your reply. When I started LCHF in August I did use more salt and drank more but have just realised that I am not paying as much attention to this now. I will increase both salt and fluids and see if it helps. Thanks again.

Hi Everyone, Has anyone felt as though their thigh muscles are seizing up? Two hours ago I ate half a round of small Burgen bread, buttered with roast beef and cheese on. One and a half hours after eating it I started very deep yawning and my thigh muscles have gone very tight. This isn't the...

Yes I did take the post prandial reading after first bite but take your point about it being quite low carb. I didn't think of that. Thanks.

Thank you Brunneria for your prompt reply. I will test very frequently for my next meal and see if I can see what is happening. I will also read up on Glucagon, as you suggest. Regards Atlantico

Hi everyone, This morning my pre breakfast reading was 5.1 I then had 1 rasher of fried bacon, a few mushrooms, 2 eggs and a small slice of Burgen bread, buttered and a cup of boiled water. I wasn't able to test until 1.5 hours post breakfast and my reading was still 5.1 and I have just started...

I fry them in a small amount of olive oil and a good knob of butter. Do you know whether, during the transition phase into Ketosis, does your body become more sensitive to carbs? Once again, I really appreciate your comments. Regards. Atlantico

Thank you. I have made an appointment with my GP. Regard. Atlantico

Hello again Mr Lamont, I played golf again today and was exhausted (certainly not above par and my golf was very definitely well below par!). For breakfast I had 2 fried eggs with cheese melted on top. I took a roast chicken sandwich, made with small Burgen bread and quite a lot of butter, lots...

Thank you D Lamont for your very full reply and explanation for some of my problems. I am now taking your advice. I am playing golf tomorrow and hopefully will see some improvement. Regards, Atlantico

I have Post Prandial Reactive Hypoglycaemia. Since 25 August this year I have been following the LCHF way of eating. I am now finding that I am unable to tolerate even the smallest amount of carbs before I start very deep yawning and get blurry vision and dreadful pains behind my eyes. Is this...

Hello D Lamont, I too am post prandial reactive hypoglycaemic and am really struggling. Can you have a hypo without dropping below a BG of 4 ? Today I got so shaky, no energy, couldn't think clearly. I was playing golf and reached our 12th hole (top of a big hill) and had to come off as I was so...

Once again, thank you for all your advice. As you say, the more you know, the better. I am sorry there was a typing error, I was diagnosed in 2010 with Post Prandial Idiopathic Reactive Hypoglycaemia. I understand they have now dropped the word Idiopathic when diagnosing PPRH. Kind regards.

Thank you so much for your reply. I may has mis-led you as I am not on any meds. The ones I listed were all tried at different times. When none of these worked I was referred to 10 different dieticians in the following years, all with different approaches. I got the feeling they were probably...

Thank you, I have found all the abbreviations. Could you explain exactly what happens with Post Prandial RA? My understanding is that, in response to too many carbs the pancreas 'floods' the system with insulin. Surely this must be too much insulin for the amount of carbs and consequently...

As a Newbie and non diabetic, I am finding some of the abbreviations used in this forum confusing. Would it be possible to have a list of the more common ones and their meaning. Thanks.

Thank you for this information and links, I will certainly read them.
