[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2370119, member: 85785"] Hi and welcome to our forum. I have reactive hypoglycaemia and was diagnosed eight years ago. I am in a dietary regime of very low carb, which is being in Keto. I use intermittent fasting and only eat in a small window. Having very low blood sugar levels is always not advised, because in the long run, it will harm your health. It's the same as having too much insulin, which can happen with RH, this is what drives blood sugar levels down into hypoglycaemia. Please understand that a result above 3.5 is not hypoglycaemia. Anything lower is. I have not had the experience to advise on pregnancy and all that happens with RH. I can't help with that. However having continuous hypos will not benefit the pair of you. Congratulations by the way. RH is a dietary condition, I will add that I refer to the condition as carbs intolerance. Which means every time you eat the amount of carbs will impact your blood sugar levels and trigger the insulin overshoot of insulin. Depending on your intolerance levels, will determine how badly you react. I remain in normal blood sugar levels as much as possible and have found this to be the best treatment, I have had very few hypos since diagnosis because I don't trigger the overshoot. No carbs, no hyper, no overshoot, no hypos. I would believe that you are not giving yourself enough time to becoming low enough to maintain control, it can take a couple of weeks to get there. Have patience. But again I stress that a lot of things during pregnancy, will affect your health and the control of RH. Keep asking, keep safe. [/QUOTE]
