[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2353294, member: 85785"] Hi again, If you have RH, usually your background insulin is either not much or none, so because of this initial low insulin response, your glucose derived from food will spike you within the first hour. This is the trigger for your brain to react by what is called an overshoot of insulin. This is what causes the drop in blood glucose levels, the symptoms, and why you should avoid carbs even healthy carbs, which if you look at, it's like lactose intolerance, which I have btw, you should not have anything with dairy in. The thing is, a healthy diet for most people is not healthy for me, because it really does make me ill. There is no cure, only dietary management, the only thing other than dietary, is a drug called sitagliptin, what this diabetic drug does is inhibit dpp4, which is a stimulus for more insulin at initial response. So you don't get a large spike, and the symptoms are lessened but you still go hypo, if you have carbs I use dietary management, plus intermittent fasting to help with control. I only start eating around 2-3pm. I have this window to have food, which ends at 7pm, so when I go to bed, I know I'm not going to hypo overnight. We are all different, even when both of us are diagnosed with the same condition. There will be different symptoms and our treatment will be different, your favourite foods, will not be mine and what you can tolerate, I might not be able to. I have been described as weird by my GP, and my endocrinologist endorsed this. Because of the rarity most doctors have not had the training or the knowledge on how to treat the condition, or are just following the old advice, because there hasn't been a lot of research, there is still so much to find out when diagnosed. There are other hypoglycaemic conditions and types. If may not be RH, but could be a metabolic condition. By all accounts, I can never have normal healthy diet but I will have a healthy diet for me. But whatever it is, doing very low carb diet will always help. Stay safe [/QUOTE]
