    It sounds like we are all having the same problems in the beginning with GP/Doctor not recognising the illness, I wish they would understand the effect this condition has had on people.

    Help please - Reactive Hypoglycemia?

    Hi Lamont, thanks a lot for your reply! He didn't suggest any further tests, he simply noted on the letter that he thought it was hyperventilation causing the issue and sent me on my way... not too helpful, maybe I should get another referral.
