[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2247654, member: 85785"] RH is reactive hypoglycaemia, which basically means that the symptoms you are getting are atypical high blood glucose levels shortly after eating, then your pancreas reacts by sending too much insulin to drive your blood glucose levels down quickly. You probably don't go hypo, but the symptoms are similar, as well as the same as a false hypo. Fluctuating bloods would also give those symptoms. Yes I have had six eOGTTs, an extended glucose tolerance test is five hours long to see if you go hypo after the glucose sends your blood levels high quickly, it takes longer than the two hours in a regular OGTT. My specialist recognised my symptoms, after a couple of visits, he had me doing tests to get the diagnosis. I am very choosy what I eat because I'm so intolerant to so many foods, I eat very low carb. Any carbs are not recommended for me. Even the so called healthy complex carbs triggers the reaction. Mostly protein (carnivore) and some vegetables (mainly salad), lots of eggs, some good saturated fats with my food. It surprising the hidden carbs and sugars in our food especially production foods. Fresh food is recommended with small pieces of fruit throughout the day, as long as you can tolerate it. Potatoes are my worst results, even a small new potato sends me up to mid teens from normal within half an hour! It is really important that you test properly and record the results and what you eat and how much you eat. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
