Hi and welcome to the forum @whats4tI am type 2 diagnosed very recently. i have what thought was very low blood sugar "attacks" intense hunger weakness especially in my legs shaking dizzy blurred vision brain fog etc. Just terrible feelings. I`m told it`s reactive hypoglycemia but have not been offered any treatment. I`m testing before and after every meal and taking metformin. The lowest reading so far has been 4.1. but not necessarily when feeling hypo. so I now can accept it isn`t LBS connected to diabetes but still no explanation. Anyone else have this?
It seems like your question has slipped under the radar. This thread is really just a "chit chat coffee morning" kind of thread, so I suggest you repost your question in the "Introduce yourself" section of the forum where it will get much more attention, but a basic answer to your question is that you are having "false hypos". In other words, your body has become used to higher levels of BG, levels are now coming down, and the body sees this as "going low" and it wants to return to the higher levels it sees as "normal" so you get all the hypo symptoms without actually being hypo. You need to stick it out and resist doing anything. It will level out eventually. Hope this helps.
