[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2008070, member: 85785"] The only thing I could offer is that something in your hormonal response is causing the whatever is happening, if it's not food, and it is sometimes, as it is in my case, it has to be hormonal! It's not the answer you want but as you have stated, they are investigating, and keep on top of them to do more, keep battling, don't give up! If your endocrinologist is as good as mine, he will get to the bottom of what is happening. It may seem sometimes that they have no idea what is going on, but if you have read anything about hypoglycaemia tests, it is a progressive diagnostic series of different tests which eliminates other conditions. Only when these tests have been explored fully can the doctors give a diagnosis and a treatment regime, or as with RH, no cure, just management of blood sugar. But with some hormonal conditions, the imbalance can be helped with medication. I take an inhibitor called sitagliptin, this helps reduce the spike and increases the initial insulin response to whatever causes the spike. But it does not stop the trigger or the hypo! So I manage by diet alone, and use the inhibitor as a insurance against any mistakes in my control. I was advised that as long as I kept good dietary control, the insulin levels, background insulin would be in balance and reduce the episodes of Hypoglycaemia. The weight loss and continuing keeping my blood sugar in normal levels, being in ketosis as much as possible, has helped me so much! Have they told you of further tests other than the proposed retest? [/QUOTE]
