Message: <blockquote data-quote="Emile_the_rat" data-source="post: 2082770" data-attributes="member: 301751">Not sure if it is a good adviced, but can tell what I did when I got diagnosed with RH (long story short: got RH a couple of years before I become diabetic).I just lived normal, I didn’t have to follow any diet or something. I just eated like I did before I got RH, and it wasn’t a problem as long as I always had some snack or soft drink with me in case of a hypo. And well, that worked fine, really.I understand that type 2 diabetics have to follow a diet, because high blood sugar can cause long-term complications. But RH won’t give you long-term complications like type 2 does. So therefore I think it is a little bit silly and exaggerated to get on a diet just because of RH.Having RH is not any worse than having to learn how to treat a hypo, so as long as you’re not having hypo unawareness it’s not dangerous for you, or a problem as long as you have a snack at hand.I found out that I didn’t get hypos as long as I did eat something with low GI every 3 hour. And were fine as long as I didn’t eat a to large amount of carbs on an empty stomach.And to be honest, I rather deal with a few hypos then following a strict diet every single day, that’s a whole lot more of work than treating just a little hypo.</blockquote>
