[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2471746, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=546528]@SarahABC[/USER] and welcome to our forum. I realise that you have been reading diagnostic bases from different threads and from different types, it is great that you want to learn and knowledge is key, but with RH, the treatment is different and control is different, despite having the same symptoms and a change in dietary lifestyle. The most important difference is you are not diabetic and your Hba1c levels should show that once you have changed your dietary intake. Your fasting levels, once you have lowered your carbs, should be in normal levels. RH means that you are carbs and sugar intolerant, that actually is it, you are typically allergic to a certain amount of carbs, because this triggers the reaction. If like me, your initial insulin response is not enough for a certain amount of carbs, this quick spike is the trigger for a secondary insulin response called an overshoot, this will eventually drive your blood glucose levels into hypoglycaemic levels. Which is below for a RH ers is 3.5mmols. The reason why your levels can be anywhere between normal or double digits is based on how your body's response to the amount of carbs previously eaten and the time it has been like this, and other issues with your metabolism or conditions. If you start the day with carbs, you have to eat constantly or you will suffer with hypos and hypers all day and that is why you have felt awful. Your blood sugars will be on a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, because of carbs. There is a very simple but difficult choice of treatment and there is no magic pill. It is to stop the first spike of the day by eating as few carbs as possible, and for your meals depending on your tastes and preferences, and replace the carbs with more protein and good fats. Find a healthy balance that doesn't trigger the spike. Regardless of dietary advice from so called experts, this condition is not understood by clinicians, dietician, some endos, and the majority of GPs don't have an idea what so called healthy carbs are doing to your body. The insulin required to someone who has too much insulin already, is very dangerous and yes if you don't have good control you will be prone to prediabetes, T2 and the resulting problems associated with uncontrolled blood glucose levels. I went through hell until I was diagnosed and this forum. My lifestyle is completely different from pre diagnosis of RH. And I have my health back. And my life back. And I lost six stone! All my symptoms have gone, my organs are healthy and my recent full blood panel test was very good. My body for my age is great. Any more questions, I will gladly answer. What other tests have you had? Keep safe [/QUOTE]
