[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2434349, member: 323454"] Hi @Cy18, I am utterly convinced that I suffered from RH before becoming T2. I did not have a glucose meter back then (so don't know for sure), but I definitely remember being at a McDonald's restaurant and feeling starved to such an extent that I was no longer able to decide what to order (which was possibly a sign of low blood sugar). I just felt totally paralized and close to crying. Possibly, it would be helpful to think of your RH as the first warning sign of impending T2 -- anyway I wished I had understood it this way way back then. Today, I look at this rather as a matter of all the great foods, I can still enjoy rather than I what I can't have (I'm on less than 20g of carbs per day btw) rather than as food restrictions. Tbh, it does involve a lot more cooking and food preparation than than before diagnosis (so not going to kid you there), but when eating out, I usually have no problems, when asking to replace starchy food with more vegetables (most restaurants will have no problems with this). I will also tag [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] and [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER], who are much more knowlegdeable about reactive hypoglycemia. I'm sure their insights will be much more helpful than mine on this topic. [B][B][B][B][B][B] [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B] [/QUOTE]
