[QUOTE="ZT1234, post: 1718823, member: 469947"] [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] [USER=57698]@lindisfel[/USER] [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] thank you so much to you all for your helpful advice. As the endocrinologist who diagnosed RH said more or less go away and manage it with diet etc that's what i've tried to do... They offered no monitoring facility apart from having an annual blood test to check for diabetes. I did buy a glucose measuring kit and use it at one point for a week or so but never caught a hyper or hypo so stopped using it as also then had to have an operation after breaking my wrist so forgot really. I will start using it again though to try and see if I can catch any hyper/hypo episodes and also try to see if my GP can successfully re-refer me to the endocrine team to help more as things are still problematic. I'm not sure whether i've had a c-peptide or GAD test but presume if they are the norm when being tested for endocrine/blood sugar related things then I would have done at some point. Carb wise my diet is now very low in it, I rarely eat bread, potatoes, pasta or rice and if I do have any at all it's only a tiny amount accompanied by a good protein source. Cereals I tend to avoid completely but will have a couple of spoonfuls of a mainly nut/seed type of granola (no extra sugar) sprinted over greek yoghurt. Hopefully using the glucometer again will shed some more light on things. I think some of the hypos may be happening in the night though and I have stopped being aware of them but have suspicions because of the way I feel the next morning as it is similar to the symptoms I had just before I was first diagnosed. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how many times I should be testing my blood sugar levels each day with RH. Is it before and a couple of hours after eating and also should it be done around exercise as well to see if that has an effect on it? [/QUOTE]
