[QUOTE="Tara2401, post: 2105718, member: 511812"] Hi there I am currently undergoing investigation for reactive hypoglycaemia. I’ve been signed off from work due to a fainting episode. I am a swimming teacher in the water for babies and pre schoolers. For years I have had low energy, irritability, shaking, excessive hunger, anxiety etc etc. My fasting blood glucose is always 3.7. I’ve had the 6 hour glucose tolerance test and I went down to 2.9 after 3/4 hours and then it started to increase on its own. The hospital said that isn’t a true hypo, they want me to get to 2? Is this the same for others? They are sending me for a mixed meal tolerance test soon. I’ve purchased a Dexcom to try and get a grip of any pattern occurring with foods I’ve eaten and doing a food diary. It’s been a huge eye opener and even more surprising the hypos I’ve been experiencing at night, as low as 2.4. Then the next day I am just so out of action. I can’t go back to work in September until I can show that I have it under control but at the moment it is very erratic and early days. I feel quite overwhelmed by it all. Thanks Tara [/QUOTE]
