[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1861347, member: 85785"] Hi, have a type of hypoglycaemia that is called reactive hypoglycaemia. We have our own forum and there is great advice and good knowledge about how and why hypoglycaemia happens to some of us. It is difficult for GPs and doctors to diagnose Hypoglycaemia, mainly due to lack of training, asking for a referral, is always the best option, because a specialist endocrinologist in Hypoglycaemia, will have the necessary diagnostic tests available. Treatment for Hypoglycaemia is usually dietary. Lowering your carb intake is usually beneficial. Depending on how your body reacts to certain foods such as fruits, can have a big influence on how you feel. You may have an intolerance to dairy like I do, it's the lactose, that can make me go hyper then hypo! It causes high insulin levels. Finding what is causing the Hypoglycaemia is really important. As for exercise, I can't do strenuous exercise, but walking is brilliant, swimming, gentle weights and working is good for my blood glucose levels. I have found that anything that makes me sweat, triggers a liver dump, which triggers an insulin overshoot which causes the hypo! Keep asking, keep researching, do read the RH forum, also the low carb forum for ideas on how food you avoid will stabilise your blood glucose levels. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
