[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2313565, member: 41816"] As someone with a long history of RH, then I am going to try to strongly discourage you from treating an RH hypo with a pint of orange juice (with or without additional carbs) If I did that I would be on exactly the high/low Rollercoaster you seem to be on. My advice (from one RHer to another), is to sit down and eat a good, nutritious meal. Meat, fish or eggs, with a nice bit of butter, or meat fat, or mayo, and green veg. A roast dinner, or a cooked breakfast, or a huge low carb salad with coleslaw. No chocolate. Those meals will digest slowly, drip feeding energy into your system and stopping the rollercoaster. having said all that...the fact that you have suddenly started feeling this way, with no warning, suggests to me that something has changed with regards to your health, and I suggest that you seek medical attention for a proper investigation and diagnosis. your symptoms need to be confirmed or eliminated as RH (and that means blood glucose testing when you are experiencing symptoms. A random blood test won’t show up a hypo). Then they need to find out why your symptoms have emerged like this, although my personal suspicion is that you have unintentionally set up the rollercoaster by over treating the hypo to start with. Many of us here have learned by bitter experience, that things like brewing an infection, or lack of sleep, or stress, or unusual physical exertion may all upset our blood glucose regulation. Sometimes even just getting a bit older can mean we need to take a bit more care. I hope you manage to get off the rollercoaster, and stay off it. [/QUOTE]
