[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2469528, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=551510]@iallaway[/USER] I have Reactive Hypoglycaemia and even though you have had some good advice from those that have had a similar journey, without going into too much detail. You cannot prevent hypos if you keep eating carbs and sugar. This goes against all medical advice, because as said before you do create too much insulin, and because of the prediabetes diagnosis, which I'm not to sure of, is probably the insulin resistance, you have built up and because of the spikes of quick high glucose from the carbs, your blood glucose levels are on a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. I can explain this more if you wish. The have more sugars, like sucrose, it's total ********! You have a condition that reacts to sugar so what we will do is give you refined forms of sugar that will boost your blood glucose levels up quicker and trigger the insulin overshoot, which causes the hypos. Madness! Driving, I would seriously consider until you learn how to achieve good control, you are more likely to continue to have hyperglycaemic episodes which could be dangerous. I was advised to stop driving by my specialist endocrinologist. The DVLA as far as I am aware, is not aware of this condition, cos of the rarity and the medical advice is wrong. There is plenty more advice in our forum. Do read and keep asking. Stay safe [/QUOTE]
