Reactive hypoglycaemia- intermittent fasting



Recommended Posts

I’m four, nearly five years out and had out some weight on because I rediscovered sugar. I’m now involved in a running battle with sugar and eating.

intermittent fasting really helps, low carb helps but I now have this intense reaction to carbs and I’m at a loss.

the extra weight - just a few pounds now, goes if I fast. The obsession with food goes too. But I get cramps and am sure I’m not eating enough when I do fast.

feel a bit stuck! Had chips last night and my blood sugar shot up to 20 just after then down to four within 3 hours.
But, if I do intermittent fasting, blood sugar stays constant at around 6.
anyone dealing with similar?

I'm not sure what your unit of measurement is but here in the states our measurements are different. We consider 80-100 more "normal." I sometimes have hypoglycemic episodes. When I feel it coming on if I can check my blood sugar I do and then I'll usually eat something like a couple of mandarin oranges or a banana for quick treatment and some protein...some lunch meat or a cheese stick that takes longer to process. At work, I always have stuff in my lunch bag just in case. I usually can feel symptoms when my glucose is around 60.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
