[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1966891, member: 85785"] It is from my personal experience and because of the trials and tribulations going through it, as you have found out, the advice from every medical care provider was similar to T2 and was only going to make your health worse. I had tried every diet that I could find until I was directed to this forum by my endocrinologist. I started low carb, but I found that even low carb and low GI was still too much and triggered the hyper/hypo rollercoaster. So I read up on Keto diet. Next I started experimenting, logging everything, talking to others with issues with carbs, reading, research, and then I did a 72 hours fasting test in hospital. This changed my life, my attitude and I discovered a lot about myself and my body. I didn't hypo when I didn't eat, my health improved when I didn't eat, my energy levels increased dramatically when I didn't eat, my health improved, my mood changed, my symptoms alleviated, I began to smile again, remember things and my brain function improved so much. Because my body was actually healthy because I avoided so called healthy foods. It was the carbs causing my symptoms, it was the carbs making me unhealthy and fat! So, I questioned my endocrinologist, he was worried, because I wasn't getting the fibre and nutrition that having as little carbs as possible, according to most medical advice, you need carbs for healthy brain function. I argued the opposite after I had experienced my new diet. My endocrinologist couldn't believe the difference in how I had lost over five stone, my health, my blood panel results. More tests, more eOGTTs, more blood tests. He finally agreed that I had good control, because I had stopped going hypo for so long. And from my last eOGTT, I still went hypo. That is why, no hyper, no hypo is how to treat RH, well, my type of RH! My experience is my story and my advice to similar conditions. If you read earlier Hypoglycaemia research, RH is called idiopathic post prandial hypoglycaemia. Because they just didn't know the cause of why there was the reaction from food was causing the symptoms, they were misdiagnosing Hypoglycaemia as diabetes, even though they had normal hba1c levels. They never did extended OGTT, only two hour tests and of course this would not show the hypo after the test ended. My endocrinologist has gone on to treat other RH ers, he has about thirty similar patients from the large area he has had contact with. There are many others out there, there is still too little proper medical research into Hypoglycaemia as a condition. Keep battling, keep asking, keep using your food diary, get the knowledge and experience, to help you control your blood sugar levels. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
