Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEM1988" data-source="post: 2746475" data-attributes="member: 580947">This sounds exactly like me although I can't get into hospital for the fasting test as there's no available beds for me to do it. Every time I was asked to fast before an appointment I just couldn't hypo. I'd then be on my way home from the hospital and bam, a hypo. I think the fact that when you fast you don't have a hypo (well at least one that stays low) is kind of indicative of Reactive Hypoglycaemia.I've recently been put on the medication Acarbose which has been brilliant - not one hypo yesterday when usually I have 2 or 3. At my worst before diagnosis I could have 12 hypos a day going as low as 2.2mmol. I'd ask to speak to a Dietitian and also see about being prescribed Acarbose. Acarbose has a somewhat bad reputation on this forum (at least what I've been able to see so far) but it has been a game changer for me.I hope that once you have your results back and you've got your diagnosis you can then get the help you need.</blockquote>
