    Reactive Hypoglycaemia Help! Really Struggling.

    Wow !! You had eOGTT six times ?? It sounds very hard . I had once and my doctor ignored my hypo and diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes.. even HbA1c was 5.9 ( pre diabetes ) and my fasting glucose was 5.1mmol/L ( normal ) . Because of diagnosis of diabetes , I had a difficulty to renew my...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia Help! Really Struggling.

    Wow !! You had eOGTT twice !! And there was a huge difference to the spike !! It is really interesting !! Ozempic suppresses my appetite, so it became easier to do Keto diet , otherwise before I had sugar cravings.. but it gave me severe diarrhea, which I have been suffering since I had...

    Keto/no or low carb ideas!

    I read Dr Eric Westman’s Keto tips, it said boil one dozen of eggs and keep them in the fridge and eat it as a breakfast or snack. I eat it with unrefined sea salt ( salt is needed for Keto ). Sometimes I make it deviled eggs ( chop them up and mix it with mayonnaise and a bit of salt ). Eggs...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia Help! Really Struggling.

    Thank you very much for your reply !! I think most of doctors do not want to hear about hypo from their patients.. they put us into type 2 diabetes category. I agree with you if my blood sugar goes down below 3.0 , I will pass out .., too scary .. before that I have to eat as quickly as...

    How to pursue potential misdiagnosis?

    My previous doctor has never heard of autoantibodies, then told me that I would never have type 1 because I am not a kid ! He was so stubborn and did not listen to me , then finally told me I don’t have diabetes.. he diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes five years ago . I have found a new doctor …
