[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2350898, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=535728]@FeltCactus[/USER] Welcome to our forum. I have reactive hypoglycaemia and had all the tests. I concur with the others, you definitely need those tests. Even if it isn't RH! What you're describing is not as I know RH, one of the diagnostic tests is fasting for 72 hours under supervision. If you go hypo it is not RH. If you don't go hypo, it more than likely is RH. I fast all the time, I use intermittent fasting, I don't have breakfast, or anything until mid afternoon, then if I feel like it, have another meal about 6pm, then nothing after seven, so I know I'm not going to hypo during the night. Did you get advised to eat so often? I did when I was first seen by a dietician after diagnosis. That is the usual medical advice, it didn't work for me. That was before my fasting test. Since talking to my specialist, he advised a low carb diet and after finding answers on here, have been very low carb for years. No hypos! Have you had any other conditions? Could the meds from that be causing the symptoms? Are you allergic or intolerant to certain foods, like I'm lactose intolerant. Have you had your thyroid checked? It could be a lot of conditions involving the metabolic system. Finally, if you have a blood glucose monitor, a glucometer, do you test your fasting levels? Do you keep a record of your food in a food diary? This was how I found out about what certain foods did to me. I was really surprised. A specialist would be really interested in how you react after food. I avoid carbs and sugars as much as possible. My fasting levels are always normal. My Hba1c levels are normal. 37. last blood test in October. I only react if I eat carbs. I don't! Stay safe and let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
