    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    I was given the diagnosis of RH about 12-18 months ago, the diabetes doc I saw hasn't been convinced from day one however she has stuck with it for quite some time. My diet is basically the same as what nosher said except fortified milk and full fat things such as flora, what changed I'm nit...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    yes I'm already doing the low carb, seeing a great dietician in Luton, the test I had apparently, according to the letter was to exclude RH which is what I was initially diagnosed with, over the past years my blood sugar has gone into double figures, something which it never did before (now on a...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    Hi, I was diagnosed with RH a year ot two ago, I've posted on here before mainly a tonn of questions.

    According to my consultant.

    I think they are more worried about my low BMI which I found out yesterday is about 16.9, bbut that's understandable as I barely have chance to rest these days

    According to my consultant.

    I've had tons of tests in the last few months, raging from oral glucose test which sent me hypo lol through to a fasting that lasted eighty hours, as regard to the meds, at the moment no I'm on none, but that might change in November when my consultant is thinking about a drug called Acarbose

    According to my consultant.

    the weight issue is the fact that I can't put any on and am technically under weight, can't remember what my recent BMI was, put will check, as for symptoms, barely a day goers by when I don't have a hypo, blood usually drops to 2.8 or below, sometimes the hypo's can be two or three in day...

    According to my consultant.

    To be fair the dietician probably has their work cut out, as I burn off food very quickly and as a result, I really can't afford to loose any weight, as I've been struggling to keep my weight above eight and half stones for the last two decades and I eat about five full meals aday, though have...

    According to my consultant.

    This explains so much for me and is just about a complete mirror of my circumstances, recently diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia, the only difference being is that as of yet it hadn't been fully explained, as I'm still waiting for an appointment with a dietician and wont get to see my...

    Confused as to what is wrong with me?

    The first test I had, I had serious doubts about the fasting for twelve hours, wasn't easy but in reality not the hardest thing going as I found out three months later when I was admitted into hospital and had to fast for three days, I know it will sound harsh as the person said above but your...

    Tramadol feedback please

    I've taken this on and off for a while, due a to motorcycle accident and a dry stone wall, lol, it really is one of the better painkillers. The person I care for also takes this, she needs a knee replacement but is to young for that to happen, like everything else take one to many and it does...

    Confused as to what is wrong with me?

    well hopefully it should start coming up, its worthwhile checking that link which jack 412 posted, the sweats are kind of a usual thing for me, not sure going to the shop was the best thing you could of done, but I do that also, don't ask, I get anxious/nervous, and irritable also. You need to...

    Confused as to what is wrong with me?

    Greeny, to be fair and honest, I can only offer my view and my understanding of what is "normal" BG levels is based on what my doctors have told me, but then the hospital nurse told me something else and the diabetic specialist another figure, frustrating!, that said taking the middle road...

    Confused as to what is wrong with me?

    I'm probably the last person who should comment, as I've seriously only recently been diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia, though was aware of something for a long time, but the BG tests you set out above seem pretty much normal, baring the 4.3 one, I'm still unsure what is really classed as...

    very confused about contradicting BG Levels

    Hopefully a final update lol, the hospital have confirmed that its reactive Hypoglycemia with probable diabetic complications, their words, and that I should expect both my doctors (gp) and the hospital consultant to be in touch, now I kind of feel a pratt for not getting it checked out sooner...
