Hello everyone,
I’m new to this forum But not new to non-diabetic reactive hypoglycaemia - I was officially diagnosed in 2018, along with PCOS syndrome (I don’t actually have any cysts now, and my periods have been regular for years but I do have excess facial hair and acne).
I’m looking to speak to anyone else who has non diabetic reactive hypoglycaemia. Do you stick to a strict no sugar/carbs? I’ve done this before and it did help symptoms, but it’s really difficult when socialising and I just feel like I’m being deprived of all of life’s joys! For the first few years I was diagnosed I didn’t worry too much, but over the past year I’ve been really anxious about dying from low blood sugar. Would this be possible without diabetes?
Has anyone been pregnant with this? As I’m currently pregnant and monitored my blood sugar for two weeks which was all fine, I’ve got to monitor again when I get to 28 weeks to check for gestational diabetes and I’ve been trying to avoid sugar as much as I can but sometimes I just want a brownie. Would there be any damage done to the baby from the occasional low?
thanks everyone - hope I can meet some people with the same thing as it’s quite lonely!
