[QUOTE="Bryce74, post: 1789220"] It's not just that sentence. I think you should state that the general advice is that with reactive hypoglycemia a reduction to a moderate amount of carbohydrate is advised and that these carbohydrates should be mostly complex carbohydrates (contrary to refined ones). After that you could state that some/many people here in the forum follow a low carb diet. Point is that if you pretend to give basic info, you cannot leave out the generally/widely accepted advice. Same -and I repeat myself- with the (below) 4.0 mmol/l figure as a definition of hypoglycemia and not 3.5. I was lucky to be diagnosed in our neighbour country Belgium by a knowing endocrinologist. He used the oral glucose tolerance test and measured glucose, c-peptides, insuline and a few other things. Afterwards my Dutch GP called the diagnosis "a wild tale by foreign doctors".... needless to say that I never saw that GP again. The Dutch health care system is almost as much a disaster as the UK NHS. Fortunately I have also access to the Belgian health care system and live close to the border with Belgium so now I have an excellent Belgian GP and if I need a specialist, I visit a Belgian one, too.
