Reactive Hypoglycemia
All I know is my symptoms. Dizziness, sometimes to the point I think I"m gonna faint though I never have. but I've had black spots in front of my eyes. Slight nausea. A shaking feeling inside and my hands shaking so hard I can hardly work my glucometer. Generally happens a little while after eating too many carbs.

2- don't know, but i have a theory that people who were NOT diabetic prior to RNY are more likely to get RH, adn former diabetics are less prone to it

I do dump like a truck, have from 24 hours postop on (the things they gave me in the hospital made me dump) and my dumping is in many ways WORSE not better over time. Have had two "BAD" RH episodes (not verified with blood sugar though) that were immediately made better with the consumption of protein/complex carb snacks. MOST of the time I naturally eat in a way that keeps the RH at bay, but it seems I'm to be reminded when I slip up!

I chased my dreams, and my dreams, they caught me!
this is all just my personal theory, please don't take it to the bank, they'll laugh at you, but i just thought I'd share my theories, since i'm full of them. hope this helps at least a little bit. but hey, i could be completely off base.
