reactive hypoglycemia

I'm a type 2 diabetic patient in my 60s. I take insulin and medicine as well. I exercise daily and have a healthy diet as well. However, Sometimes when my sugar level goes down to 40-50 mg/dL or below, I immediately take sweets or sugary items and it rises gradually. And in some cases, after...

Hi there, firstly I apologise if this has been covered in one of your many threads, I have looked but nothing stands out and my GP seemingly knows very little about blood glucose and what is normal. I'm 38, no history of diabetes, I workout 3/4 times a week and I eat healthily most of the time...

I would love to hear what you think caused your reactive hypoglycemia... (for those who don’t have the obvious clinically recognized causes of gastric bypass or pregnancy induced RH). Both my husband I have have suffered from it for various years now: him from 2011 and I since about 2014...

Hi ..just wondering if anyone living with Reactive hypoglycemia uses a silicone medical wrist band.. I'm thinking of having it printed just Low blood sugar Because I'm sure in an emergency the average person would not know what reactive hypoglycemia is Any...

Hi! I have been living with reactive hypoglycemia for two years although I do not have diabetes which I know is quite rare. Anyway I just wanted to share that for the last six months and after a lot of hard work I have been symptom free. I wanted to share the blog site I put together documenting...

I have recently been diagnosed with RH and my appointment for the diatocian isn’t for few weeks and diabetic appointment next month my hypos are getting out of hand when I had glucose tolerance test they dropped to 2.7 and I felt awful . Will I get glucose meter to check my glucose levels ? What...

I have reactive hypoglycemia. I have only had low blood sugar problems once a year and it's always been something that I have done incorrectly. Today, I ate well but had an episode of low blood sugar. The only thing that I did differently was to take Claritin (loratadine). Could that be what...

I was looking at the insulin index, and was interested in how insulinogenic some zero-carb foods are (for instance, most animal protein). Being something of a voracious carnivore myself, I've had huge steak, chicken or fish lunches, but they keep me full forever and I don't hypo from them. On...

First off, hello everyone! I'm super stoked to have found this forum - FINALLY, I've found other people who are like me! I know I've written a lot, but I hope it's at least entertaining - it has been a strange journey for sure. I've been dealing with reactive hypoglycemia from the moment I hit...

Hi I am new to this site, so I am just adjusting to navigating and figuring out how to even post on a forum. I have a few questions I wanna ask anyone who has Reactive Hypoglycaemia as mine has got so bad I am really at the end of my rope! If anyone can point me in the correct direction where to...

Hi, New here. Nice to find a forum about reactive hypoglycemia ! So in summary : For me eating = getting tired for hours, even sleepy. So I went to see GP. I was asked to take one of these glucose/insulin test (Where I need to drink some sugary drink and then they take my blood every 30...

At what level do people tend to treat their hypoglycaemia with extra glucose? Say if I had a hypo about an hour before a meal, how low do you recommend letting it get before I eat some quick-releasing carbs, as I don't want a constant cycle of meal, hypo, eat for the hypo, not hungry for much of...

Hello everyone, Nice to meet you all on this forum. Have read some very interesting posts before making an account here. I struggle with Reactive Hypoglycemia, i have been told to eat more protein, low carbohydrate and more fat to ease my symptoms. I must say it is working but it is very hard...

Hi! My entire life I've been dealing with what I now know is reactive hypoglycemia. I vividly remember eating a ton in the morning because I was scared of getting "woozy" and not having snacks prepared during elementary school. I also remember nearly passing out several times in P.E. class just...

I’ve been documenting my Blood sugar for a couple of months now, as after food a couple of hours after I get very trembly and feel anxious. (I have suffered from anxiety for 5 years anyway) the lowest I’ve caught was 4.0 which then went back up to 4.9 on its own. And the highest I’ve had is 7.8...

I have had Reactive Hypoglycemia now for over 5 years and it is the most miserable and grim condition ever. There is no way to break free from the horrible condition, to sustain symptoms i have to have a very careful diet. I have to get up at 8.00am, cook eggs with cheese, anything else and i am...

hi can anyone recommend a Doc that treats reactive hypo ?? Been struggling with this the last 10 years but struggling to be heard !

Does anyone look further to what is causing their blood sugar to drop? Like adrenals, gut, deficiencies, hormones and more? Was just curious.

Hi all I'm confused as to whether or not I'm diabetic. I had an OGTT a few years back due to low blood sugar concerns. My fasting sugar was 4 something, then it dropped to 2.6 after 30mins after the drink, then came back up. Last year I had this test repeated. Fasting/starting sugar was 4...

Okay, this won’t be simple to explain but I need help so I will try. I am a 27 year old female with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and gastroparesis. I don’t have much oral intake, less than 500 cals a day. I have a nasal-jejunal feeding tube. I have for a long time experienced dizzyness...
