Message: <blockquote data-quote="Starke" data-source="post: 2296965" data-attributes="member: 527393">In regards to what tests I have had done: well my father, brother, uncle and husband are all doctors. Only my husband, who also suffers from reactive hypoglycemia, have supported me. The rest, as they haven’t studied it, don’t  believe it exists or simply aren’t interested. The endocrinologist was too afraid of me dropping dead in her office to administer  me the glucose test.  She admitted to me, when I pressed her, that she had experience with RH, but that controlling diet was the only thing of which she knew. She offered me metformin and acarbose, if I wanted them, but added that she didn’t recommend either  as I wasn’t a traditional candidate. I have no pancreas tumour, no stomach surgery, no thyroid issues... all blood work normal etc.I was vegan for many years. And have met other vegetarians who have developed RH. In answer to your sage advice about being wary of carbs and grains... whole, raw, thick cut oats are the only ones that seem to work for my husband or me. He can eat a cup of them and not eat for another 10 hours! Give him a molecule of tomato, or a grain of rice  and he’s flat on his back...immediately, even before swallowing it. And his sugar doesn’t go back up.</blockquote>
