[QUOTE="Discovery22, post: 2132072, member: 495383"] After testing positive for RH and joining this forum I tried cutting the carbs but still had hypos. (Lots of them). I have hypos when I’m fasting. I have hypos when I exert any energy (and that includes walking round a supermarket). I was taken into hospital for 72 hr fasting which was non-conclusive as my sugars only dropped to 2.5. Some days I won’t be too bad but others I can feel my sugars dropping throughout the whole day even while I’m eating and on days like this I struggle to keep my sugars above 4.0 I was taken into hospital recently due to my BP being so high and having a very high platelet count but they had so much problem stopping the hypos, after I lost consciousness they evicted me from that ward and put me on a diabetic ward to see if they could control it better. In there I practically lived on mini orange juices because my sugars were nearly always too low My consultant has now come to the conclusion that I produce twice as much insulin as I should do and that there’s “nothing they can do” and has promptly discharged me saying it’s “just something I’ll have to live with” So now I’m left trying to control something even the hospital couldn’t control and struggling with daily hypos...sometimes numerous times a day. I’ve never been told what is causing all this and why after controlling RH for many years on my own with no problem it’s come to this. I’m feeling so desperate right now and feel stuck what to do [/QUOTE]
