I am sorry! I think I have added this in error to the thread - struggling with RH. My apologies if this is the case. I am not sure how to move it. So, I have been carrying on my reading into RH and how to manage it and have stumbled on some that say you can reduce the severity of your RH if your...

Hi Kathy, Fingers crossed the headaches subside. I have heard coffee withdrawal can do this. Yes, I eat sugar. In the couple of months since my diagnosis ( I'm still on the journey of figuring it out) these are some of the helpful things I've found out about sugar ( it's worth reading...

Hi Lamont, That is interesting. Many thanks for your examples of how your sugar levels peak.

Hi, I am finding my way with reactive hyperglycaemia and already appreciating the positives of reducing the glucose spikes. However like any new habit forming I fell off the wagon today. I'm not beating myself up about that. however, unlike the past, I am now armed with a glucose monitor and...

Hi Giraffe, I am really sorry to hear it is taking its toll on you. I hope there is more light on the horizon and it takes up this less mental space than it does now. interestingly, I am realising I instinctively knew what was good for me before my diagnosis and it didn't dictate. I was just...

Thank you giraffe - your experiences are very reassuring and certainly resonate in terms of gradually finding a happy me menu and being kind to myself. the glucose monitor is outstandingly useful though I already recognise I won't keep it long-term once I have worked out what works and what...

Thanks Giraffe95. That was a long wait for testing! Mine dropped to 2.5 but that was after 40 hours! And it hovered in the 2.8-3.6 the rest of the 72 hour fast. . Ok, that sounds positively realistic to me. I think the gradual approach will work for me too - and your having success in reducing...

Thanks this is super reassuring. I have found Glucose Goddess on Instagram and it's interesting to see how order of food consumed influences sugar spikes. I'll take a look at Zoe. Interestingly your post resonated re: pulses. In my 20's I exercised intensively and pulses was the mainstay of what...

Thanks for

Hi Lamont, Thanks for your experiences of what works. I don't need to lose weight fortunately and am happy with multiple small meals as I have instinctively done this for years. I'm using an app to look at what I am eating as I reduce but keep carbs and eat more protein. A bit hit n miss on...

Hi Lamont, thanks for your detailed reply and your insights and advice. Interesting that you have gone down the no carb route and you manage it so well. I am very keen to explore eating carbs still and to experiment with various slow-release carbs. As mentioned previously when I tried to...

Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with RH. An absolute relief as I have spent most of my life on the rollercoaster ride of sugar highs and lows. I have always been very active and always relied on carbs for my fuel. Do you focus on slow release carbs as your fuel source? I have tried no or low...
