Hello,
My name is Steve, I was diagnosed with Reactive Hypoglycemia (not diabetes) about 5 years ago. But apparently I have had it most of my life from what many endocrinologist, internalist say. It is a wierd diagnosis. Because among eating right, exercising it has a mind of it's own. This is not something you can beat it's something you try to regulate. There are lifestyle changes that do help. But there is not yet a medicine/cure for this yet. Of course, there are other medicines out there that do seem to help a bit. They say its an underlying gene.
What seems to happen is my sugar goes up, and sometimes on its own, and the higher it goes the faster it drops. In theory if you can get it from going high it won't drop as fast, but still drops in my case. Tried metformin, diet, exercise. Very difficult to control. So if I go up to the 200's, it will drop to the 60's within an hour. Fun stuff. Nice to meet everyone.
