https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...rable-adults#background-and-scope-of-guidanceHi please can anyone help? My daughter has postprandial diabetes controlled by diet, should she be self isolating and off work or not?
Her body produces too much insulin after eating, for far longer than required, so her blood sugar goes through the floor and makes her really ill or collapse.That's a new one on me.. what is "postprandial diabetes" please?
That sounds more like reactive hypoglycaemia rather than diabetes to me (I could be wrong).Her body produces too much insulin after eating, for far longer than required, so her blood sugar goes through the floor and makes her really ill or collapse.
She's a shop assistant in the local co-op so she can't work from homeThat sounds more like reactive hypoglycaemia rather than diabetes to me (I could be wrong).
In any case diabetics are not currently qualify as a self-isolating group, we are in the higher risk but not self-isolating group, for example. I could not just refuse to go do work on the governments instructions as I don't count as the highest risk group (as it happens I am working from home, but so is 95% of my company now), your daughter may be able to organise something with her work however.
Diabetes means blood sugars go high, crashing down isn't a trademark of the condition. I agree with the others, sounds more like Reactive Hypoglycemia. There's actually a solution for that, happens to be the same way you get T2 under control. Her pancreas overreacts not to food, but specifically to carbohydrates. If she cuts those out, it's got nothing to respond to.... So she won't overproduce insulin and thus, not hypo. And yes, I know that's not the question, -that's been answered already anway- but it is a good thing to know all the same. Here, have a read on some of the basics of low carb eating.
