[QUOTE="ZT1234, post: 1717452, member: 469947"] I was diagnosed with RH about 18 months ago after some investigation after being very symptomatic of hypos (I'd previously had gestational diabetes) and at the time had an HbA1c of 24 mmol/mol. I had a 5hr GTT and had hypo symptoms at about 4hrs and when tested about 20 mins later the reading was 2.7. After this testing I then had the 72hr fasting tests done and although I dropped to 2.9/3 on the second and third day I didn't go lower when tested and stayed at around that level. After diagnosis I was advised to go on a low carb and low sugar diet which I have done (strictly) and I exercise regularly. I am lower end BMI. On recent testing and after some symptoms reappearing at times I have been re-tested and my HbA1c is 25 mmol/mol so not really any better despite the lifestyle changes. My other test last year was again 24 mmol/mol but I wasn't quite as symptomatic and was advised to more or less just carry on. Does anyone have any advice or had to use anything other than diet to help? [/QUOTE]
