[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2451349, member: 155453"] Welcome to the forum [USER=549809]@nomoreporridge[/USER] As I understand it low blood sugar is not a symptom of diabetes. T1's no longer produce their own insulin and in the case of T2's we produce plenty of insulin but it no longer works effectively. So without medication or diet control our problem is high blood sugar, only too much medication can cause hypos. With reactive hypoglycemia the problem is over production of insulin in response to eating carbs. I don't know if it's possible for someone with RH to experience a hypo without first having a spike, I suppose it depends on whether it's your 1st or 2nd phase insulin response that's gone wonky. Of course it's possible that you are just missing the spike (if there is one) not all carbs are equal, some hit our blood stream quickly other more complex carbs can take a lot longer to be digested. I hope someone more knowledgeable than me comes along to help [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] . Maybe a continuous blood glucose monitor would be helpful, expensive I know but it would show which foods you are eating are causing the excessive insulin production [/QUOTE]
