Hi yetta,Hi
I live on a low carb diet. Since I have the "hunter" gene I have to control my fats to not get fatter (see gestational diabetes). I got a probable auto-immune reaction in 1957. I ended up with late onset hypoglycemia after eating too much sugar/starch/alcohol. By the time I took my glucose tolerance test in 1964 my body had adjusted and I get mild shaking episodes as my body restarts the hormones I am supposed to restart when I have an insulin release to prevent low blood sugar. This is not as good as it sounds since this lead to other distressing symptoms. People with reactive hypoglycemia stop giving off hormones to prevent low blood sugar. The chemistry involved in creating the problem is what your RH people are detecting. Many people refuse to listen to me but I advertise on google in the U.S. and India and the number of people who go to my site every day averages over 100 and is slowly rising. I provide many ways to communicate but almost no one responds. 3 women have sent me thanks since we are the people who get gestational diabetes and it has nothing to do with diet. Obviously you should control your diet when you are pregnant. People who have the "hunter" gene get late onset reactive hypoglycemia. If you have late onset reactive hypoglycemia you probably have the "hunter" gene. I am looking for women who get gestational diabetes but do not have the "hunter" gene. I am trying to find out what fraction of the people who are diagnosed as prediabetic are actually "hunter" gene people. Our A1c is strongly correlated to the amount of sugar/starch/alcohol we have eaten. We can get diabetes but a high A1c means little or maybe nothing.
My daughter has reactive hypoglycaemia and is not diabetic (unlike me). Nobody seems to recognise the condition, even most doctors, She has had problems from school life to working life in dealing with hypos, and being allowed to eat or take glucose when she needs to, as people think because she's not 'diabetic' she shouldn't be allowed breaks etc.

Can anyone offer any advice or information?
Everyday is constant struggle, After I eat any carbs i gain all of the below symptoms;
-Lightheadness (almost like a dream state)
-Sinus Pressure
-Lethergy
-Heart palpitations
-Increased Phlegm (Post nasal drip)
-Gritty/itchy eyes
-Shaking
If I keep consuming carbs I will get a sinus infection ive had 3 in the space of 5 months in which ive had antibotics and steroid drops to treat each time but the only difference is it turns my green phlegm back to thick white. I still get the puffy cheeks, sinus pressure, fatigue and so on. However cutting carbs does relieve the sinus problems.
I began the Keto diet to try and cut out sugar but then i get symptoms of hypoglycemia from lack of sugar.
It might be worth mentioning that i also keep getting thrush and have had antheltes foot in the 5 months this has been happening. Ive also had a few instances of random shooting pains down my legs and in my knees and 2 or 3 times an intense stabbing pain under my left rib which lasted a few minutes. (Im not sure if any of that is related)
Im desperate its effecting every aspect of my life relationships, work performance/Attendence and motivation.
Male, 23 years old. No instances of any other illness before September 2017
Hi,
I have not officially been diagnosed with hypoglycaemia, However I'm going to a see specialist tonight. Iv'e come to the conclusion because it happens no matter what carbs i eat, sweet potato, plain rice, banana etc... unless i have a sugar allergy.
I believe its hypoglycaemia because symptoms seem exactly the same of that of a hypo accept I also get sinus issues.
Iv'e managed to successfully cut these foods out for 5days which does greatly improve my sinus issues. However, when i do cut out all carbs after a few days i find myself going into hypos from lack of glucose, i also have feel as though i have no energy even in the gym.
Thankyou!
Dont get me wrong I do get a significant improvement when removing carbs! I do believe i get whats called the 'Keto flu' after a day or two I just need to stick it out long enough to make use of Ketones. If it is reactive Hypoglycemia is it a typically a perminant thing or has anyone managed to fully recover and go back to a normal diet?
Hi guys, I'm new here. I haven't gotten an offcial diagnosis but my end mentioned my symptoms sound like reactive hypoglycemia. My readings are basically as follows:
Fasting = 85 mg/dl
After breakfast: 115 mg/dl
2 hours later: 80 mg/dl
I start feeling all symptoms of low blood sugar (shakiness, jittery and brain fog as well as irritability) at 70 and sometimes 80 mg/dl and I'm trying hard to manage it with a low crab diet but Im still symptomatic.
Can anyone help?
Lamont D can you please explain the part where you say the person is non diabetic but is getting diabetic levels after eating?
I am trying to work out my own possible RH. From what I have read on Diabetes UK non diabetic fasting BG should be 4.0-5.9 (72-99), and 90 minutes and up to 2 hours after eating non diabetic BG should be under 7.8 (140). The person you replied to had BG after eating of 6.4 (115), so according to Diabetes Uk that is normal for non diabetics. I don't understand.
I am interested to find this thread.If you wish to ask questions or are interested in asking anything pertaining to hypoglycaemia, diabetic or non diabetic. Ask here.
I am interested to find this thread.
DiagnosedT2 in 2016, I was put on metformin.
I was overweight and lost 4.5st which puts me in normal weight range.
Anyhow, I have come off meds and my last hba1c was 29.
No more hypers for me now, but started feeling lows shortly after eating carb foods and on checking my BM it is dropping to around 3. Porridge is a culprit!
Not been back to GP as they were not very interested when I was diagnosed, I am managing this ok myself after online research.
I do not know if this is connected to being diabetic, or even if I am still classed as diabetic??
I come from a long line on diabetics, all ages from 20s, different weights, sizes, T2 and MODY.
Will watch this thread with interest. Merry Xmas

Hi @wiselawHi As my Daughter was experiencing effects of what we later learned must have been dodgy Novo Flexpens, I was wondering if anyone else has heard, has links to documents, experienced or cared for someone who experienced serious and non-serious hypoglycemic events or photographed any flexpens with faults?
