My diet for at least couple years back was rather correct, I also wasn't avoiding physical activity.  Blood sugar on routine tests always ok (although on the lower side).About six months ago I started experiencing some weird symptoms - frequent hunger, even shortly after meal, nausea during and after meal and in general feeling strange after eating. I was breastfeeding then, not sleeping very well and at the beginning I wasn't concerned about those things - If I felt hungry I just ate, more and more.Three months ago I stopped breastfeeding, my baby started to sleep better, but my symptoms haven't gone away. Actually, they started to be worse. I had literally constant hunger, I felt terrible during and after every meal (nausea, fatigue, dizziness, feeling a bit unreal). After having some basic blood work (everything fine) I decided to go on 2h OGTT. After 2h my blood sugar was 4.06. Still within the range but once I got home it got pretty bad, I almost passed out before I had some food.I went to see a doctor, she said its reactive hypoglycemia. Advised me to eat small meals every 3h, low GI and low carb. She was 100% that all my symptoms are due to low blood sugar.I started a diet about 2 weeks ago (not being very strict on New Year's Eve to be totally honest). However, none of the symptoms is gone. I wasn't expecting to be 100% fine after this time, but I was hoping for at least small improvement. I still have this hunger (hunger-like?) feeling in my stomach almost all the time, even if I feel full at the same time and I simply don't have appetite for anything else. I can live 3h without eating, I'm getting "healthier hungry" after 2-3h and then I eat, but I feel terrible all the time. It's not like in RH from articles - the bad doesn't start x hours after meal. Also, all of those weird symptoms right after the meal - nausea etc. - they are still there no matter what I eat.I have to say, this situation slowly destroys my life. I'm in constant discomfort, easily getting nervous, always too tired for home duties, playing with kids, spending time with my husband. I'm crying a lot recently, the smallest thing can ruin my mental stability. Meals are no longer a pleasure (if it will continue I think I will develop some kind of eating disorder...) I would follow the diet If I have a tiniest bit of hope that I would help. For now its not.My questions is: Is this even possible that those symptoms are caused by reactive hypoglycemia? I've seen here some posts about after-meal nausea, but none of them gives any clarification and happy ending. I'm planning to consult another doctor, but I don't expect this visit to be game changer<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
