Hello Folks,
Hope you are all well.
I have suffered with Reactive Hypoglycemia for over 10 years and have constantly been configuring my diet. My diet is the best it can be, i am having more protein, i have low carbohydrate bread and try having alot of no carbohydrate meals. I generally have reduced alot of my Reactive Hypoglycemia episodes, originally my blood sugar was dropping as low as 3.3mmol on a UK blood glucose reading.
I still have alot of tiredness sometimes after eating and i have had a few minor Reactive Hypoglycemia episodes. My doctor says i should try Acarbose, this slows down the absorption of food, which leads to a lower response in insulin from the pancreas. However this medication can cause alot of side effects such as gas and stomach ache that can be unpleasant.
I was kindly wondering if anyone knows of any vitamins & minerals, herbs or certain super foods, that could help with my pancreas and the over production of insulin. Even anything to help stop my blood sugar fluctuations to some extent, any help would be appreciated. There is not much more i can do, i have tried exercising more and my only other option is the Acarbose, but i do not want to try this just yet. Thank you so much for your time and for reading my post, i am grateful.
Thank you very much.
Tony
