[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2361390, member: 85785"] Take my word for what it's worth, I was diagnosed nearly eight years ago. I have had so many tests to verify diagnosis. I have taken part in a published study. I have even gave a ten minute talk to medical students which my specialist tricked me into giving on one of my last appointments with him. My Hba1c is 37. My fasting levels are never above 5.5. I am non diabetic. All your symptoms are typical RH. And if you read the sticky threads, there will be symptoms that you are not aware of. Every time I post a reply about doctors, specialist, dsn, I have had a specialist endocrinologist who didn't have a clue and dismissed me. My endocrinologist said to me, his mentor would have no idea about RH. My own GP called me weird. It is because they don't have the training in hypoglycaemic conditions and don't understand the reasons we are reacting to food especially carbs. I mean who would have thought that people can be ill eating healthy complex carbs? The dieticians are worse, according to most, you have to eat carbs. Most doctors would give you dietary advice similar to eat complex carbs with a low fat diet, reducing your carbs and portion size and eat every three hours!! No wonder, RH ers are suffering. The reason for the three hours is to stop you going hypo by eating more carbs. This will impact your glucose levels and the amount of insulin produced is far too much for anyone. The trick is to eat as low carb as possible, so as not to start the reaction, so you are not creating insulin, to stay in normal or just above normal blood sugar levels. This will stop the hypos, gif you are RH. Keep safe, keep asking. [/QUOTE]
