Reactive hypoglycaemia- intermittent fasting

[myfanwymoi 102]

I’m four, nearly five years out and had out some weight on because I rediscovered sugar. I’m now involved in a running battle with sugar and eating.

intermittent fasting really helps, low carb helps but I now have this intense reaction to carbs and I’m at a loss.

the extra weight - just a few pounds now, goes if I fast. The obsession with food goes too. But I get cramps and am sure I’m not eating enough when I do fast.

feel a bit stuck! Had chips last night and my blood sugar shot up to 20 just after then down to four within 3 hours.
But, if I do intermittent fasting, blood sugar stays constant at around 6.
anyone dealing with similar?

I'm not sure what your unit of measurement is but here in the states our measurements are different. We consider 80-100 more "normal." I sometimes have hypoglycemic episodes. When I feel it coming on if I can check my blood sugar I do and then I'll usually eat something like a couple of mandarin oranges or a banana for quick treatment and some protein...some lunch meat or a cheese stick that takes longer to process. At work, I always have stuff in my lunch bag just in case. I usually can feel symptoms when my glucose is around 60.
