Hello All
I have just been diagnosed with reactive Hypoglycemia and Pre diabetes. I do not understand neither of the two stated. I had my last tollerence test this week and showed by sugar dropped to 2.2. Now consultant sent me letter and said I have a impaired glucose tolerance (pre-diabetes) Whatever that means. I passed out in hospital with the 2.2 but after eating mars bar, biscuits, sandwich and 2 cups of sweet teas I was then ok. The letter states I need to keep away from sugar and replace it with Glucose, sucrose, fructose and dextrose. I do eat maybe not that great as i am a lorry driver (No fast food dinning) I have sandwich cake etc. If I dont have sugary stuff then my sugar drops dangerously low all the time. I self buy libre2 and just bought Dexcom G6 to try. Im not too sure what Im trying to ask but I hope someone can help. I can attach the letter to this if anyone wants to see it. My Doctor has given me Glucogel and a monitor to fingerprick myself. Because I drive a lorry, by law from DVLA I need to keep my sugar above 5.0
Sorry for the stupid post.
Thank you
Ian
