[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2097115, member: 85785"] Ok, I have RH! The true reactive hypoglycaemia diagnosis is Hypoglycaemia caused by food converted to glucose rapidly, then an overshoot of insulin forces your blood sugar levels down into hypo levels. If you wake up in normal levels, and you don't eat, then a RH er will not react. It is food that causes the trigger for the hypers then the hypos! Carbs, hypos, no carbs or no food at all, no hypos! The reason why you are recommended to eat every three hours is to stop the hypos, but if you don't have the carbs for breakfast, then the rest of the day, you will not get the reactive part. No rises in blood sugar, no trigger, no hypos! Do you have normal blood sugar levels before breakfast? Have you noticed that you get ill after a carb laden or starchy foods? If you have a salad with protein, you don't get the symptoms. It is food that causes the symptoms! So if you are fasting, you should not need to eat every three hours because you won't have to stop you going hypo! That is why a long fasting test is necessary, to see wether you go hypo or not! I was recommended on diagnosis to eat every three hours, I couldn't do it! Then found I didn't need to if I reduced my carbs, I found having stable blood sugar levels, all the time, got rid of symptoms, made me healthy, and the hypos stopped. You only have to eat every three hours if you eat carbs earlier. I haven't had a hypo in about five years, because I don't eat the foods that causes the symptoms and the hyper/ hypo rollercoaster ride of fluctuating blood sugar levels. Reactive Hypoglycaemia means you are carb intolerant. It is this intolerance that causes the horrible symptoms, that causes the blood sugar levels go up and down. An intolerance means you should avoid these foods, just as if you are allergic to them. Try not having carbs as much as possible, you will see the difference. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
