[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2047497, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome [USER=506290]@DaisyChloe[/USER] If you have already been reading the RH section of the forum, then you probably have a good idea of what we RHers do to control the situation with our eating patterns. However, there are a number of other things that can cause hypos, or hypo like symptoms, including PMT and other hormone dysfunction and other medications. As you have probably already seen, there are ways to identify RH (and all those other conditions). RHers with an official diagnosis have usually had those other conditions ruled out, and gone through a prolonged glucose tolerance test to monitor what actually happens to the blood glucose for hours after eating. Hopefully with some evidence of hypos recorded on your glucometer, you can nudge your doc into referring you to somewhere able to carry out and interpret the further tests. You have my sympathy - it is often a very uphill struggle to get anyone to take hypos seriously if we don't have diabetes. Some people even believe that hypos without medication to cause them are impossible - but we are living proof that they are wrong. ;) One point of hope though - if you do have RH, then you may well be able to get good control of it, and be rid of the endless misery of hypos, by adjusting your eating and removing the triggers that lead to the hypos. I have. And you will find quite a few other members who have found the same. And you don't need a diagnosis or a doc's permission to try some low carb experiments and see whether the hypos diminish. Keep reading, and best wishes getting your doc to refer you. [/QUOTE]
