[QUOTE="jebin, post: 2276643, member: 526261"] I have been identified with Reactive hypoglycemia for last 1.5 years. I have consulted many doctors, but most of them didn't really understood the issue. Only one doctor has told that ,my issue could be RH. Most of the doctors will not identify this problem and they don't have a correct method to manage this I have been watching this forum for a while and I could see that, this forum and members have more information about RH and its management I will give details about my conditions, This is my usual BGL readings Fasting : 4.8-5.2 Normal food including carb,fat and protein 1 hour : Around 8.3 2 hour : 4.9-5.1 3 hour : 4.2-4.6 Somedays, the BGL will be as below Fasting : 4.8-5.2 Normal food including carb,fat and protein 1 hour : Around 8.3 2 hour : 3.9-4.4 3 hour : 2.8-3.9 (too low) The lowest till now is 2.8. This happened very recently I have undergone 3 hour Glucose tolerance test In 3rd hour, BGL was 3.7 I have undergone 5 hour Mixed meal tolerance test In 3rd hour, BGL was 4 . After that, the BGL increased and in 5th hour , BGL was 4.6 During 5 hour Mixed meal tolerance test and 3 hour GTT , my insulin level was double than the normal value in each hour. Also, by 5th hour, the insulin was still available in blood than normal value. As per doctors, by 5th hour, insulin level should be less than 10 units I also undergone 72 hour fasting test to check insulinoma. It came normal. During 72 hour fasting, the low BGL recorded was 3.1.The doctor told that, I have more insulin produced and its impacting BGL to low. They advised to take more proteins and fat along with complex carbs and take food in 3 hour intervals. Along with this issue, I have mild gastritis and taking Omeprazole for this. Also I am taking Blood pressure medicine to control slight high BP. My RH symptoms mainly include, feeling hungry by 2-3 hour after food. Then, sometime feel slightly shivering and slightly sweat. Also fee too tired by that time I would like to clarify few things Members in this forum has more knowledge about RH. I usually have same kind of breakfast, but somedays BGL stays fine at 3 hour, some other days its going too low. I wonder, why this BGL behave like this. Based on the information I provided above, did my case can be confirmed as RH ? Also, people with RH will have BGL 2.8 , 3 hours after normal carb+fat+protien food ? If its RH , I believe , KETO diet is mostly recommended diet to manage this. I am planning to start KETO. Before that, I would like to collect few information Is it possible to have KETO through out the life ? I am asking this because, KETO will reduce the body weight. If the body weight go beyond too much, will that be a problem? Next thing is, in KETO we are avoiding many foods. So, do we get all micro nutrients required ? RH is happening because of overshoot of insulin. We know that, carb is the primary cause of spike in Insulin. But, I heard that, insulin is produced in lesser volume when we consume protein. So, while in KETO, we are totally avoiding carb. So,we are not providing any glucose to the blood and BGL is maintained in blood by extracting glucose from the body fat. As I said above, the proteins will also result in lesser amount of insulin in blood. So, does that insulin(produced by proteins intake) will reduce the BGL to low(keep in mind that ,we are not providing any glucose from the food) Please check and provide your comments [/QUOTE]
