[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2313615, member: 85785"] Hi and welcome to our forum. The first thing I would say is try and relax, the constant panic about the hypos will cause symptoms as well as the crash. It is something every RH er goes through. What they always tell you to treat a hypo with quick glucose, I spent twelve hours in a hospital after my glucose tolerance test because as perfectly you described that they couldn't believe that I was non diabetic going hypo and were treating it like a T1 or 2 diabetic. What you are experiencing is called the rebound effect. Whatever is causing the trigger for your extra insulin (overshoot) you are treating the hypo, then it triggers more insulin, crash again, treat it, crash again and so on. Starting the day with concentrated fruit is going to put in the roller coaster ride of your blood glucose levels. This yo yo effect is causing the symptoms. Your body even though it is demanding more sugar/carbs is trying to cope with out of control hormonal response to the food and drink you have. RH is a dietary condition, when you have too much glucose then insulin after certain foods. Take [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] advice about eating a very low carb meal instead and you need to get a monitor, seek medical advice and ask for a referral to a specialist endocrinologist. I have controlled my RH, since diagnosis, it is controllable if you know which foods to avoid. If you have read the RH forum, I have an intolerance to most foods. I can only eat protein and saturated fats, vegetables and eggs. I was before covid, as fit and healthy as a man of my age could be. Keep safe. Keep asking, keep calm. I know what it is to have anxiety and not understand what is happening to you. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
