[QUOTE="Tad1979, post: 146917, member: 18964"] We never did figure it out. Reactive hypoglycemia isn’t a common diagnosis and as many of us have learned here, finding the right doctor is key. As a teenager/20something I simply didn’t have the experience or resources to push harder for help or information. I’m sorry, but you do seem to have some very sketchy concepts overall, like when you talk about metformin “impeding the absorption of carbs”. Again, that’s not how it works - it works by affecting insulin resistance. Over and over again insulin resistance has been shown to be an issue for people - this is the root mechanism for type 2 diabetes and all treatments for it attempt to address that resistance in some way - metformin, glipizide, or biduriun to lower resistance or more insulin to overcome it (which perversely only makes the issue worse and is why type 2 diabetics end up on progressively more insulin). Even weight loss, the very first thing advocated for pre-diabetics and type 2 diabetics targets this concept because as we low T patients know, fat impedes hormone health. I’m not trying to be condescending here, but reading everything you’ve said in this thread I fear for your safety. You really need to sit down with a medical provider and have a detailed Q&A session.
