[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2445824, member: 85785"] Hi and welcome to our forum, I have Reactive Hypoglycaemia and testing is a huge part of understanding what happens when we eat certain foods that trigger the reaction. If you're not sure what happens, we do have a sub forum on Reactive Hypoglycaemia and there is a sticky post on testing. I went through the same, test, test, test, and given that I was told to eat every three hours, that is a lot of test strips! Do you keep a food diary? It's no use testing unless you have a resource to compare. Because of all this trial and error. I found that i get the RH symptoms when I eat carbs and sugar. After being in Keto for a few years and healthy, not having hypos is great, avoiding those carbs, I also use intermittent fasting every day, and I only eat in a small window, so unless I have another illness, I only test pre meal and two hours after, just to see if my body is in normal levels. It's ok to test, but you can cut down when you believe that, you have seen the results of testing the same food a few times and it doesn't effect your blood glucose levels. Or, when you see that the food is causing symptoms and your blood glucose is not in control, out of normal levels. Stay away from that particular food. You will work it out. What diagnostic tests have you had? Stay safe. [/QUOTE]
