[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2424632, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=546602]@Katerinax[/USER] and welcome to the forum. I have Reactive Hypoglycaemia. What you are describing are my symptoms if I trigger a hyper then hypo. What you have perceived is not so far off the mark. I won't bore you with science, but what is happening to you if you do have it..... You eat a normal meal, something like a sandwich, without testing your blood sugar rises quite fast, because as you have said your insulin response is lagging. For unknown reasons the insulin response does not link with the glucose but maybe it is not there at all. That is insulin resistance. But we don't have insulin resistance. What we have is little or none insulin response. Why? something to do with cells connecting. Because of the higher than normal levels of glucose readings. Your brain tells your pancreas to get its finger out and provide more insulin. So insulin floods your blood and disposes of all your glucose.. So that drives your blood glucose levels down into hypoglycaemia. If that was your breakfast, once you have ate your cereal. The trigger and the hypos keep happening like a rollercoaster ride. Because every time you eat normal, you will get a 'reaction'. What is it that causes the reaction? You get your energy levels from your food/drink and your body's health is reliant on having a balanced hormone response when eating. But, we don't have this. So, if we can't get good energy levels, what is the reason? You were more than likely told to eat a low GI foods. But that is still eating the things that is causing it. It is the carbs. I have said many times, that RH is carbs intolerant. Completely! We have to get our energy levels from somewhere, the body couldn't function without energy. It is called Keto. Being in ketosis, is how you get your energy levels without any carbs. It is a huge lifestyle change, and a will power to match. I have found that a balanced diet of protein, good fats (and I don't mean low or no fat) full fat Greek yoghurt with berries is wonderful. Vegetables especially the above ground variety, dairy and plots of eggs, some fruit if you can tolerate it. We have a sub forum on all this and much more with other people's Hypoglycaemia and the rarer types, mind you all together there isn't many of us.. Ask away, read the RH forum and we will see where we can advise you. Keep safe [/QUOTE]
