[QUOTE="Ballofwool, post: 936386, member: 186617"] Hi all, It sounds like they definitely don't think it's an insulinoma. The nurse that did my blood test was very upsetting, she said it's my fault I feel unwell and my fault I got low blood sugar in hospital, because I haven't been eating enough carbohydrates. Then I spoke to the consultant, but I was so upset by what the nurse said that I started crying. The consultant told me that he was the one that ended my fast early, which I have very little memory of! I didn't recognise him! He said that my antidepressants might be contributing to my problems because they can lower blood sugar. He will await the results of the cortisol test, and call me if they find anything abnormal. He said he is thinking it's some sort of glycogen storage disease, which could only really be treated by dietary advice. He looked at my record of foods I have eaten, which I have saved on the My Fitness Pal app on my phone. He asked if I was aware that i was on a ketogenic diet (designed to keep the body in ketosis), which is I was because it's an idea I had come across on the internet. Lots of people are claiming to be using it to try to lose weight, even though they don't have RH. But then when the consultant tried checking my urine ketones he found I didn't have any traces of ketones. So it would appear it's not a ketogenic diet. The consultant said that they have a big meeting tomorrow to discuss my case, then he will send me a letter about the outcome. I feel better on my low carb diet, but seem to get really weak with crying spells on and off... But I think maybe it's just because I'm so worried about my health. I have made quite a few small mistakes at work (I think low blood sugar makes my memory bad), and I'm worried I might not be allowed to carry on working there... [/QUOTE]
