Hi,
I have severe hypoglycemia. I am always low – I’ve tried a lot of things through diet first, no carb, low carb, high protein. It doesn’t help, I often pass out and need to be treated in the hospital emergency room. When I had my OGTT my fasting was 27, 1 hour 53, 2 hours 32 and 3 hours 14. The OGTT had to be stopped at 3 hours, but was meant to go for 4 hours.
Anyway, I saw an endocrinologist and have been put on a drug called diazoxide. I was told it’s meant to inhivit insulin production. I’ve been on it 3 days, it seems to be working. I’ve tested my fasting blood sugar twice and once 2 hours after a lettuce and tomato sandwich. The two fasting leves were 89 and 87 and 2 hours after my sandwich was 119. I feel a little bit better, not quite right just yet, guess it will take time, but I do seem to have a bit more energy and not as tired all the time so far. Kind of odd to have normal numbers. But just wondering has anyone tried this and did you see/have good results with it
