[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2469459, member: 506169"] Hi [USER=551510]@iallaway[/USER] and welcome to the forum Pre-diabetes is when somebody's longer term Blood Glucose (usually as measured by an HbA1C blood test) is between the normal ranges and those designated as being Type 2 Diabetic. So although is isn't something to be ignored, it isn't yet at a stage where medication should be required. Though in my view medication should hardly ever be required since Type 2 diabetes can be controlled by eating better - rather than eating what were told is 'healthy'. Reactive Hypoglycemia is where when you eat (too much or of too refined) sugars or starches e, your Insulin response is lagging the rise of glucose in your Blood Stream by so much that your Blood Glucose (sugar) gets high enough to trigger am over-reaction in insulin because your body needs that glucose out of your blood and fast! But since it has now ben a while since you ate/drank those carbohydrates, there is no more glucose coming along just yet and so the excess of insulin drives your Blood Glucose levels down below normal levels and even to quite dangerous ones (especially if you are driving at the time).So you can think of it as a series of over-reactions in both directions making a graph of your blood glucose look like a rollercoaster rather than a fairly flat track.
