[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2306962, member: 41816"] I think you need to start doing systematic blood glucose testing. Diabetics who hypo should use fast acting carbs to treat it. And people with RH are usually told to do the same. My experience of RH is that treatment plan is a disaster. All it did was trip me into a high-low blood glucose rollercoaster, that left me reeling for days. Again, my experience of RH is so simple, so basic, that people often seem to struggle to get their head around it. It is the carbs that cause the RH by causing an excess of insulin being produced to deal with them. This causes the bg to drop sharply, causing the hypo feelings. So if the carbs are avoided, then so is the rest of the aggro. So you really need to find out (using a blood glucose monitor and a detailed food diary, food, timings, portion sizes) whether you are experiencing significant blood glucose fluctuations. That can then inform your decisions about the best way to treat them, or whether you need to be looking at another root cause of your symptoms (e.g. food intolerances). [/QUOTE]
