Unsure if I have reactive hypoglycaemia.
The past few days have been a rollercoaster and not a fun one. I was having symptoms of intense hunger after having meals and was concerned I might have diabetes due to my weight and activity levels(I’m around 320lbs and 6”1). My dad gave me a CGM to check how certain foods react with me and I’ve been checking that after eating. The day of my doctors appointment I had a breakfast consisting of 2 eggs, toast and beans, I had a snack prior to leaving also which was Greek yogurt and half a banana. Once I was there they took bloods and I started feeling very unwell, this was approximately 3ish hours after my breakfast and when checking the CGM it showed 4.1mmol. After the bloods were taken I felt better maybe because the snack before kicked in? I went home and had lunch which was chicken and rice cakes and after that I felt even worse than before which prompted an ambulance call. When the ambulance arrived my blood sugar was at 5mmol but I still felt really unwell, they gave me the option of staying home and waiting for my blood test results tomorrow or going in and waiting for hours. I chose to stay home and throughout the evening and night my blood sugar was stable and I had no issues.the following day I get my results back and I’m told all my bloods are normal with no signs of diabetes or pre-diabetes. During these episodes I haven’t actually had a finger prick test where my levels were in hypo but I feel off when my blood sugar drops quickly after certain meals, I’ll attach a chart above so you can see what I’m talking about, (the two dips and rises in the middle were when I felt unwell). I can’t tell if maybe my anxiety is messing with me and causing these symptoms or if it’s related to the blood sugar. Please let me know your thoughts and I appreciate you for reading this whole thing.
