Thank you,
@Lamont D, I'll look up the sub forum for reactive hypoglycaemia, and what you are describing does sound like what I'm going through, as I explain below.
And it really helps me just getting someone's opinion, and what you and others have gone through, all feed back has helped with my stress, and the feeling I'm alone.
I have an update, for the last 3 days my sugars have been in range, apart from high's, they are still dropping after sugary carbs, but, only a little, like I eat a banana and 200g of black grapes and 2 muller strawberry yogurts and my sugars went from 5.8 before eating, to 4.2 30 minutes after, then 1 hour later again I retested, and they were 11.2, but dropped back to 5.6 around 90 minutes later still.
This "dropping" seems to be happening after fruit, biscuits, but it could be most if not all carbs, and seems more stable when I eat foods with all 3 macros, and after eating Mackerel, they stay the same mostly.
The only thing I've changed is my diet, I've stopped eating high GI carbs before bed and in the middle of the night 2–3 times, and on waking, and I slept for 10 hours without any midnight snacks last night and on waking 5.3.
Now on waking I'm not eating loads of fruit or sugary breakfast bars that are very high in sugar, I'm now starting my day with porridge then a sliced beef sandwich, then nuts etc, and I feel better eating meat and fish again, as I stopped eating all meat or fish for the last 17 months, as it was triggering the extreme pain in my upper stomach.
Of course, I'll still be following my GP/Endo advice, as I need more tests doing as I still have the pain, which the PPI's are helping me with, the pain is from pancreatitis, and probably GERD, but I've never had acid or other symptoms of GERD. I was curled up in pain for over a year, losing 7 stone from not being able to eat, but 20 minutes after taking the first Omeprazole most of my pain went away.
And to think a Dr prescribed me Glyceryl Trinitrate and Statins and for over a year, telling my it was my heart, which 14 months later was shown to be wrongly diagnosed, so stopped taking them.
I need to find out why changing my diet around helped with my sugars so much, and I really hope it's not just a coincidence? My GP told me pancreatitis comes and goes in some people, but could pancreatitis really keep my blood sugars to stay below 2.9 for 30 days, and what does it mean that now they're going up to 10.6 or 11.2 after eating...
