[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2183491, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome. :) I am afraid that RH tends to gets worse over time, if we continue to eat in a way that overloads our bodies with more carbs than they can handle. also, in my case, I found that my bg climbed through prediabetes, as my body craved carbs, and got more and more used to the higher bg they caused, I started having false hypos with all the symptoms of real hypos. This was because my body had got so used to raised bg, that even normal levels made it think I was dipping to a hypo and it would panic. of course, I also got real hypos if I ate too many carbs, or did something like run up stairs, or get stressed on an empty stomach... The irony is that I have eaten a low carb intake for almost all my adult life - because it made me feel so dreadful if I did eat carbs - but over time that wasn't enough. I now have to eat virtually no carbs at all, in order to feel well. Most of the advice for RHers is ‘eat carbs 6 x a day’. that was terrible advice for me. there have been 2 things that have eliminated hypos for me: 1. Avoid carbs. No bread rice potato pasta sweet fruit juices and sugar etc etc. No ‘small portions’ or ‘I can just get away with a little’ nonsense. It has to be NONE 2. Giving up gluten in any form, even in soy sauce or stock cubes. Turns out I have a food intolerance that triggers RH. Took me over 30 years to work that out! Your experience is likely to be somewhat different, but I would urge you to try strict low carb for a few weeks, and see how you feel. There is a rather wobbly adjustment period - after all, your body has run on sugar fluctuations for years. Going cold turkey is a bit of a shock. But most of the RHers on here who have tried going very low carb (and stuck to it) seem to flourish on it. have a look at [URL='http://www.Dietdoctor.com']www.Dietdoctor.com[/URL] for suggestions on menus, including bread substitutes, snacks and dessert recipes.
