[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2259301, member: 401801"] Read up a little on Reactive Hypoglycemia. It's when your blood sugars spike, and your pancreas overreacts by pumping out more insulin than you actually need. Treatment for it is basically the same as it would be for Type 2 diabetes: A low carb diet. Because if there are no spikes, there are no overreactions from your pancreas either. Mind you, not all T2's have had RH before diagnosis, and not all RH's become diabetics. But it does mean you put out a lot of insulin, so insulin insensitivity (and T2) is something you want to avoid in the long run. You can do that by making changes now, because yeah, your spikes are a bit too high. (Shouldn't be over 8,5 mmol/l or 153 mg/dl) You can get tested for RH with an extrended oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and you'll want the extended one, so you don't end up with a low when they've already stopped testing. If you don't want to go to hospital in these times though, just try changing your diet and see whether that solves the problem.
