Help please - Reactive Hypoglycemia?

Hi Karen,

I've been very up and down, but fingers crossed over the last few weeks I've felt slightly better, thanks for asking . To be honest I haven't been very good at avoiding carbs, this is something I need to work on. I've tested my blood sugar levels, after meals and when I'm feeling symptoms, and they are always around 4.2 - 5.2. I've had blood tests and an ultra sound scan on my liver, all come back clear which is good news. One of the issues at the minute for me is the complete intolerance to exercise, it makes me feel extremely fatigued. The doctor has diagnosed me with costochondritis which I believe is also affecting exercise..

Thanks for the advise, I really need to get back on the wagon and avoiding the carbs!

Hope you are coping well with your RH.

 

That's what's very confusing, especially when I'm feeling symptoms but my blood sugar level is showing as normal. How are you managing to cope? Your levels seem lower than mine

My normal food intake looks something like this:

08:00 - Breakfast biscuits and banana
11:00 - Apple
12:00 - Dinner (normally either a chicken salad sandwich, bag of crisps, yoghurt)
15:00 - Breakfast fruit and grain bar
20:30 - Tea (Can vary, usually cooked chicken curries, steak and sweet potato fries, stir frys etc)

 

Thanks a lot for your advice, I will definitely look at adding this into my diet (Minus the avocado!!) Really appreciate your help, thank you.

 

Thanks a lot Brunneria, yes I found the low carb really difficult but as you rightly say I haven't been eating great and I definitely wasn't getting enough health fats onboard. Thanks a lot for the advice, I really appreciate it.
