[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1789497, member: 468714"] Your symptoms MAY be possible hypos but that is just my personal, non-professional guess. Some form of CGM monitoring is a strategy to discuss with your GP. Also I have two friends who had her reactive hypoglycaemia diagnosed by what she called an extended glucose tolerance test (extended GTT). rather than the 2 hour test it goes for at least 3 hours to see what the insulin and sugar levels are. One of these persons was found to have pre-diabetes and, against Govt-funded prescribing policy in Australia, was prescribed Metformin. As you point out slow-release carbs (low GI, low GL) are better. My friend found that too. She also said that having protein seemed to help in addition to the slow carbs, Not sure why ? slower release of carbs as fat from protein could alter GI, ? conversion of some protein to carbs during fasting at time ?? The other friend had a cortisone deficiency (? Addison's disease). Not sure of more details and please do not assume you have pre-diabetes or Addison's disease, but your GP can help sort this out if need be. [/QUOTE]
