Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cry18" data-source="post: 2434260" data-attributes="member: 538837">How do you all cope with the miserable existence that comes with reactive hypoglycaemia? I was diagnosed with non diabetic RH coming up to three years ago, and I just feel miserable with it. I have friends with prediabetes and diabetes who can eat whatever they like thanks to medication, whereas metformin did nothing for me and the only thing that works is a restrictive diet. I can’t enjoy normal things with my friends or family as I have to watch what I eat - going to the pub all I can drink is water. It’s just so miserable. I’m tired ALL of the time, I can sleep for nine hours and wake up with my eyes burning I feel so fatigued. I feel bad for my husband as it must be miserable for him as well with us not being able to do many normal things.  How do you all cope? Do you ever cheat and eat something you shouldn’t on the odd occasion just to get some joy out of life?</blockquote>
