[QUOTE="MrsB24, post: 2361369, member: 537370"] Hello, thankyou for your reply :) I can tell you my sundays meals- Breakfast I had avocado and a poached egg. Then I has half an apple with peanut butter on for a mid morning snack. At lunch time I had cucumber, carrot sticks and raw broccoli dipped in houmous. It was about an hour after this I felt really poorly and actually passed out! Whoops! I drank a glass of milk when I came round as I didnt want to risk juice in case that was a bad move. For dinner I had 2 mushrooms stuffed with cheese and a couple of cherry tomatoes and for a snack before bed half a banana (a not quite ripened one) with peanut butter on it. So I have an update as I spoke to my doctor today. Basically he said to me, the initial doctor I spoke to has written to the endocrinologist team to see what advice they can offer me. He said that should take about 2-3 weeks for them to reply. So I asked for some guidance in the interim for what to do when I am feeling so woozy and drowsy and he said...and I quote.. "well, the thing is, based on your previous blood work 7 months ago you arent diabetic. And you can only get hypo's if you are diabetic. So I dont really know how to advise you in case it is wrong. So I think we need to wait." To which I replied "I understand what you are saying, but I have done A LOT, and I mean A LOT of research into what the doctor has told me and even on diabetes.co.uk there is an entire thread of people who have been diagnosed with RH and a lot of them dont have diabetes. I would be happy to provide you with the link if you would like?" And he said... "okay if I'm honest, the drs in this surgery dont know much about this. It's not widely researched or understood. So I wont refer you for any blood tests or glucose tests until we get a reply from the endo. Team. " I asked if a blood monitor would be useful so that I could record things throughout the day and at least as a worst case scenario, I dont need it, and I have had a few pin pricks. He very very very reluctantly said it was a good idea... My symptoms started over 7 months ago, I went for blood tests and everything came back as "normal" so nothing else was done. But since then I continued to make note of all of my symptoms and last wednesday, after having my 9th migraine of the year so far, and feeling really really unwell in general I had decided it was probably enough so made the call back to the doctors. I was putting it off as long as I could because of covid, I hate feeling like I'm wasting the nhs services! I feel like I havent really given you much to go on, sorry! Maybe I should say some of my symptoms? - General dizziness and light headedness within an hour of eating. - the constant need to pee! Like.. I think I must go around 15-20 times a day!
