I've been diagnosed with functional hypoglycemia, I've always had a fast metabolism but since having my baby 17 months ago I keep having symptomatic hypo's all the time.
Before anyone says I have seen a diabetic consultant who brought me in to hospital to do a 72 hr fast to rule out insulinoma etc and this is the conclusion he came to, I'm waiting to see the dietitian to see if it can be controlled just through diet. I've already started eating an oaty cereal for breakfast and wheaten bread instead of scones at work and cut out chocolate etc. I normally have pasta or potatoes with whatever I'm having dinner. Just looking any tips while I'm waiting on the dietitian for foods that are good to eat or probably more importantly things I don't realise contain things that trigger it, I know caffeine and sugary foods trigger it.
