I'm hypothyroid and my medication gets changed constantly. It needs testing every few months whereas some people are fine on the same does for life. I can't do any form of excersize no idea why. You will get worn out easily. The only way to see if its your blood sugar levels is if you test at...

I know what you mean about the taste though. Suddenly anything with sugar tastes sooooo sweet! It's just not nice.

Thanks everyone.

I have started a campaign on 38 degrees to try get more research done into Reactive Hypoglycaemia and try get free test strips. Please sign and share. Hope I got the information correct...

Yes definitely. the dr in October said it was suggestive of it and carry on with the dietitian as if I were, continue testing etc. I knew I had it anyway. It was frustrating having a 5 minute appointment today saying my own tests in October proved it. But just knowing its not ms or anything...

Ahh I didn't know that. Thats really interesting. thanks

Thanks @Brunneria that sounds hopeful. I had worries it would get worse. I've found very low carb is working best at the moment. I did attempt no carb for 2 months and my blood sugar levels just got lower and lower no matter how often I ate. I was getting really ill and any cab was making me...

Hi everyone its been a while since I last joined in, boy its changed! Basically I had my hospital appointment today with the diabetes endocrinology specialist and she said the same as her colleague in October I definitely have Reactive Hypoglycaemia, probably late post prandial, but my...

They all have such similar symptoms especially when you try to describe how you are feeling. My gp thought it was a panic attack. I changed gps. Anxiety can sound similar when you're describing it and the fast plummeting of blood sugar feels like it and sometimes it is anxiety. I would get...

Is it up and running yet? Where can we find it?

Thats brilliant @nosher and @brun well done :) Regarding alcohol i have the odd glass of wine but haven't tested myself. In the past i got drunk very easily and felt tired and sobered up quickly. Dont often drink enough to keep going. Its my first drink i enjoy as you feel the effects. I...

You don't have to spike to get the drop. Using energy uses up the blood sugar and therefore you go low. Any form of exercise can do it and stress. I used to hypo at my old job packing boxes and my dad in the evening after a day of gardening, fine at the time but come night time a hypo. Dads a...

Totally agree nosher. I have never slept well and since the kids sleep worse. I find it hard to get to sleep at night and wake up at least once or twice, sometimes for a couple of hours. Its awful. And yes I feel worse when I've had less sleep for a few days. Sometimes I regret the lie in but...

Hi @Kaz261 I have no idea. I can only suggest that the body doesn't like change in routine even if its needed sleep. I wonder if because of the longer sleep your blood sugar was lower than you thought and the extra work used it up, so blood sugar went down and blood pressure up? I only get rare...

Thanks guys I'll read up on these tomorrow. I'm shattered. Goodnight.

Lol I don't even know what 9 bars and fat bombs are. Protien bars didn't last me and breakfast bar spikes me to 11.

I only ate the pizza as I was feeling worse and wanted the carbs, it was a small peice tho. I need to make a list of low carb foods. I work 4 hours so eat just before i go in and after. I need something to keep me going long enough but not spike me. Its a pain. As its only 4 hours so i don't...

It's been asked that by my drs before. I haven't noticed it but I've only been measuring my blood a few months and before couldn't even figure out the trigger for the symptoms. its definitely worth looking at.

Well done on your successes today guys.

Thanks @nosher I've been so good this week too, yes guess its that little bit of rushing, I went for a walk yesterday which was great as my energy levels have really picked up, I couldn't walk fast a month ago so vitD and eating low carb really have helped. Just over did it i guess and my...
