[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2657753, member: 85785"] Once again, info overload as you have seen, if you read my posts in the RH forum. Regardless of BG levels, you sometimes cannot discern the difference in symptoms between the rollercoaster ride of your levels once it triggers, and yes hypos can right themselves, cos even though your liver will always intervene with glycogen to correct (glucogenisis) your hypo, the high level of insulin after secondary insulin phase, (overshoot) it won't be enough, to prevent the hypo but will eventually. And just to confuse you a little, symptoms can be felt, if your BG levels drop quickly. Fasting, my first time because of the excess weight, insulin resistance, and dependent on eating most of the day. I couldn't adjust to it. So, because I didn't have a resource that truly helped me through it, I just did it over a couple of weeks until I started the tests fasting bloods, eOGTTs and finally the fasting test, fasting was important. It's not easy but, I couldn't believe how quickly you feel better and energy levels do go up. Going keto is the same, keto flu is not nice, but it is worth it. My energy levels are brilliant, it is now my age and other issues that hold me back. So I can see that if you do get control, you will be able to do more, walking is brilliant, fifteen minutes after eating for fifteen minutes, does help with everything. It is not impossible to have RH without being T2. But I was diagnosed with it when in normal levels. So RH is non diabetic. It was called idiopathic postprandial hypoglycaemia. Now it is, non diabetic reactive hypoglycaemia! But, cos of the excess insulin, maybe insulin resistance, the imbalance with hormonal response. It can mimic T2. And you have normal BG levels. You only go into diabetic range when eating carbs. Carbs are the issue, all carbs spike me. I am totally intolerant to carbs. Keep asking, the more knowledge you have about the science of it all the better. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
