[QUOTE="paulshaw56, post: 1511586, member: 420978"] Many thanks for all your posts and for tagging people who might be able to help this is appreciated. I have tried monitoring my blood sug[SIZE=4]ar Bluetit1802 but at the time of symptoms i do not have low blood sugar. Azure my endocrinologist described it as potentially dumping syndrome or symptoms similar to reactive hypoglycemia. There is clearly a blood sugar disorder but it clearly is rare, as no cause has been documented. As my symptoms occur within 3 - 4 hours of eating, it is linked to reactive hypoglycemia. I did get alot of relief when switching my diet, as originally eating a high sugar diet i had around 6 low blood sugar attacks during a day. You are correct it could be that after eating something high in sugar my blood sugar changes dramatically. So it is a case of trying to stabilise the blood sugar for me to stop these low blood sugar like attacks. The days food i have listed below for you to review and when the attacks occur. If anyone knows any vitamins or minerals i could add to my diet or herbs that could help this condition i would also be grateful. If anyone knows any snacks that are good for helping low blood sugar attacks i would be grateful. I know acarbose the medication prescribed stops the digestion of sugar and slows down the absorption, so there is not a rapid increase in blood sugars. However the side effects put me off taking this, i am trying to manage this condition more naturally to begin with.[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]Sample meal plan for a day: 8.30am - Special K cereal with full fat Milk Alternative - Peanut Butter and Marmite on granary bread[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]12.30pm - Snack of high protein flapjack[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]1.30pm - Ham sandwich on granary bread, with salad, with a tub of fruit or lenthil soup[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]4.30pm - Snack of dried fruit and nuts 6.00pm - Chicken with roasted potatoes, mixed vegetables and buttered granary bread[/SIZE] Low blood sugar attacks: [SIZE=4]10.30am can feel shaky, irritable, weak and anxious 5.00pm have symptoms as described above 9.00pm have symptoms as described above [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
