[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2508547, member: 85785"] Can you explain what a MMTT is please? Or did you mean an OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test? Reactive Hypoglycaemia is a non diabetic condition. Because, if you don't eat for a time, or what is known as your fasting levels, your blood glucose levels are normal! It does sound final in so many ways, I have been there, maybe because there is no magic pill to cure it, the majority of specialists, doctors just don't understand it, hence the treat the effect and not treat the cause advice of eating every three hours! After the initial period of changes in your dietary requirements, you don't need to do this! Remember it is carbs, It can be controlled through keeping to a very low carb diet. I have discovered that I have always eaten too much, and found out since diagnosis that I can go without food for days at a time. But I can still enjoy, the proteins, the salads and there is an alternative to most carbs! In the end, discover what you can eat and the foods (carbs) you cant! Watch out for produced foods, there are many pitfalls that you may not be aware of, cooking oils, for one, spuds, , all grains, rice, fruit, a few dairy products, it is a minefield. Keep asking, [/QUOTE]
