[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1580813, member: 85785"] Hi, and welcome to our forum. Your post reminds me so much of my past twenty years. Not one of the many so called health practitioners had a clue, including an endocrinologist! It wasn't I had a hypo in front of my present endocrinologist did he decided to do the tests that led to diagnosis. Through my own personal experience and others that have posted here, that I have gained the knowledge on how to treat RH! Even my endocrinologist believes thou must have a certain amount of carbs. You don't! I have a lot of intolerance to many foods, which triggers my pancreas to produce the excess insulin that leads to the hypos. It is all about that first insulin response from your food. If you don't need that response, then you don't tend to get the hypo. So by eating very low carb, you take away the recurring hypos. How do you treat the hypos? By your description of doing low carb, I believe you didn't do it long enough and the symptoms would have eased after about two to three weeks. Metformin is tricky. I was told to stop taking it. The side effects alone are bad enough for your system, with rh, your body is under enough without the metformin. With RH your gut brain trigger is in imbalance. How different is how that reacts to glucose in any form. How you quickly digest food is why you start going hypo after two hours, there is a condition akin to RH, with the same symptoms called gastric dumping. Any form of hypoglycaemia will benefit from very low carbing. Having your blood glucose levels in and around normal blood glucose levels for the majority of the day is so good for your health. It will assist in getting your symptoms to go away. And your health will improve. Let us know how you get on with the dietician. Wonder if he/she will recommend the eat well plate? Best wishes.
