reactive hypoglycemia symptons anyone have this ?

I feel your pain, a month ago i hiked 4 miles up a mountain covered in snow, now going up the stairs from my basement isn't easy. I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia after a blood test, the doctor emailed my diagnosis, told me to eat protein mixed with carbs, and that was it. Thank God I can research this on the internet and find books, but it's depressing, not being able to eat or drink what I want, the dizziness I get after I eat or if I don't eat, and all the other symptoms. I feel like my life has hit a brick wall, all I can do is ask God to help me thru this.

What is turmeric?
Turmeric grows as a shrub in India and tropical parts of Asia. The roots are ground up to make turmeric. Its active ingredient is a substance called curcumin and it is bright yellow. This bright yellow spice has medicinal properties as well as adding its pungent color and taste to many delicious dishes.

Ayurvedic medicine has used this spice as a whole body cleanser, an aid for digestion, and in treatments for fevers, infections, liver and gall bladder problems and arthritis. It may even help to burn fat, and is also very effective as a preventative for heart disease, and Alzheimer’s.

The rich stores of antioxidants are very effective against the free radicals which contribute to premature aging, disease and cancer. Many natural practitioners actually recommend turmeric when a potent antioxidant is needed

Ground Cinnamon
Cinnamon May Improve Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Resistance
This is the news that is most exciting for people who respond to low-carb diets, since most (or at least a substantial percentage) of us are probably insulin resistant or diabetic. Several studies have shown improved insulin sensitivity and blood glucose control by taking as little as teaspoon of cinnamon per day. Improving insulin resistance can help in weight control as well as decreasing the risk for heart disease, so this has a lot of people interested. Although the results of preliminary studies are somewhat mixed, the majority of the research seems to be pointing in the direction of cinnamon being beneficial. Along with the improvement in blood sugar, these studies have documented improvements in triglycerides, blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol.

i hope this will also help you too . .
potato seems to be my worst enemy as the carbs in this turn to sugar too quickly so i now eat sweet potatoes

I feel like I am going mad, too, so I'm with you. The worst thing for me is that I never know what kind of day I will have. I haven't yet been able to find a food trigger. I feel as if the triggers is not WHAT I am eating, but just the fact THAT I am eating. My blood sugars are still mostly normal. I'm not even to prediabetic range yet, but they say it's reactive hypoglycemia. I'm trying low dose Metformin to see if it will jump start the insulin but it hasn't made the extreme hunger after eating any better. It is, unfortunately, causing some low blood sugars so I may stop it.
