ive been diagnosed with non diabetic reactive hypoglycemia. the endocronologist i saw didnt seem to know much about it. had a two hour gtt. my sugar dropped from 125 at hour one to 37 at hour two. fasting level was like 70. was advised to eat every two hours and balance my meals. been having these almost daily feeling where i get spaced out and feel like my brain is shutting down. cant talk or think. very frustrating.
several times in the last few weeks ive noticed something strange when i test. tonight for example. i hadnt eaten in two hours and ate a can of chicken 30 gr protein and a can of sweet peas 40 crbs. at the end of an hour my sugar was at 88. checked again at two hours it was 102. went and ran and after workout it was 85 at three hours. i dont understand why it would be higher at two hours than hour one. ive also had a feeling of pressure in upper abdomen right below the extra rib on left. every doctor ive seen, many, all laugh me off and tell me its nothing wrong with me but clearly it is. any ideas what these sugar readings mean. its been like that the last several times ive checked it. i always eat pr/crb or pr/fat meals. thanks

Sounds like the absorbtion of the protein and carbs you ate were slower than you expected. Its actually better for you if your glucose rises slowly than quickly. Many times it is the quick rise in blood sugar that spurs the pancreas to over produce. Has anyone suggested to stay away from refined carbs and stick to the fruits & veggies & high protein meals? If you are going to eat something like bread, pasta, potatoes etc than only eat a very small amt....actually you are better off limiting them to special occasions.This will really help w/ your spaced out, brain fog symptoms. When you go low from the carbs, you will feel like you described. The chicken & vegetables are a great meal. High protein and good carbs.

i dont eat any simple carbs. the only time i eat anything like bread or baked potatoes is after my workout. its been suggested i have a gluten intolerance but not proven. maybe im eating to often?

I doubt you could be eating too often. Are you taking any supplements, ephedra based stuff etc.? When you do eat bread & potatoes after the workout is it after that when you feel low?
When you said gluten intolerance do you mean like Celiac Disease where symptoms are diarrhea, weight loss, and malnutrition, to latent symptoms such as isolated nutrient deficiencies but no gastrointestinal symptoms. Those affected suffer damage to the villi of their intestines when they eat specific food-grain antigens (toxic amino acid sequences) that are found in wheat, rye, and barley.

What did you mean when you said your meals are pr/carb or pr/fat? PR means? This is really interesting to me...sorry for all the questions.

Just wondered why you are not eating these BEFORE your workout?

According to a couple websites:
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is a rare ailment generally found in those who have diabetes, pancreatic tumors, adrenal or pituitary gland failure, liver disease, or who have had stomach surgery.
In addition, the following are possible causes of hypoglycemia:
Drinking alcohol.
Exercising too hard.
Medicines.
Pregnancy.
Skipping meals, not eating regularly, or not finishing meals or snacks.

The best way to prevent a hypoglycemia reaction is to control your blood sugar. Learn the symptoms of hypoglycemia and treat the low blood sugar right away. Following are ways to control your blood sugar.

To keep from getting low blood sugar, eat 6 or 7 small meals a day at regular times. Eat snacks between meals, like eggs, chicken, nuts, cheese, or skim milk. Do not smoke, drink alcohol or coffee, or skip meals. Do not eat foods with a lot of sugar in them, like candy bars unless you are having a hypoglycemic reaction.

i eat protein and carbs or protein and unsaturated fat meals. the feelings come at any given time of the day. no real pattern. i thought maybe i was eating to often assuming my sugar was low every two hours like the gtt showed and that i was actually still up then when i ate that raised it more and possible caused an insulin release that made it drop rapidly producing the brain starving feeling. not dropping out of the normal range but falling so quickly symptoms occur. they think im intolerant to gluten and some people have little gi problems from it and have mostly neurological and fatigue. ive been eating alot of oats and things with gluten in it.

I know there is a website for gluten free...maybe you should check it out and try their diet. Obviously if you stop having the symptoms, you know it was gluten.
