[QUOTE="D4VIDL, post: 1950653, member: 497824"] Hello Lamont. After feeling "low" again today (truly sick of it) I have just found this site and thought that even though I'm not diabetic I'd register so could put a post on to see if there was anybody that could steer me in the right direction regarding RH. Read your opening statement and tbh broke down . I reckon I've had RH for about 40 years and always had to deal with it myself. First passed out aged about twelve , then after it happened a few more times they started testing me for epilepsy etc (basically as I remember it involved sticking wires to my head at a local mental facility). Nothing came of it, including no diagnosis of course. From this age I had to learn to deal with it myself. No cereal or white bread etc, learn how to to prevent passing out or how to head it off if I felt it coming (dextrose, sweet stuff etc), while putting up with people looking at me as though I was Martian or at least a princess if I said that I can't eat this or that or had to eat sugar to stop myself fainting I finally persuaded a local gp who again just as all those before was fobbing me off with "there's nothing wrong with you" to at least send me for the four hour fasting glucose test. This was naturally halted after two hours due to my v low sugar level, with the command to eat immediately. Unfortunately that was about ten years ago and was the last advice I've had . Finding your forum won't be I know, an end to this but just hearing other people's experiences makes me feel a little less weird at least! Regards David [/QUOTE]
