[QUOTE="DEM1988, post: 2740167, member: 580947"] Thanks very much for your replies. I don't know why I was asked to eat starcy carbohydrates with every meal as like you've both said it causes the inevitable glucose spikes, sugar crash then the hypo. I think carbohydrates are an issue for me. Dairy also causes the same reaction as carbohydrates so I'm now using lacto-free versions of dairy products which have sorted the dairy hypos out. [I][B]What tests have you had?[/B][/I] I've had blood tests to rule out Addison's Disease and other autoimmune conditions. I've had tests to look for Insulinoma. Probably other blood tests too but they all came back clear so the working diagnosis is Reactive Hypoglycaemia. [B][I]What is your latest hba1c?[/I][/B] 40 mmol/L [B][I]Do you understand, why your blood glucose levels are on a rollercoaster ride from high spikes and hypo lows?[/I][/B] I'm starting to realise what's happening thanks to the Freestyle Libre systems. I'm keeping a food diary to document what's causing what. [B][I]Have you had a look at some of the threads on our forum?[/I][/B] I've used this forum before previously when the Endocrinologist thought that I had Insulinoma. I'll have to chip away at the Reactive Hypoglycaemia forum to gain more knowledge. Thanks again, Dave [/QUOTE]
