 I had  a blood test for a physical required by my job the other day -  It came back  that  I had reactive hypoglycemia !   

Mind  U  I didnt tell the doc a THING about my surgery ... 

hmmm scary ... 

also  LDH  ?  is that  low levels of  good cholesterol or something ? 

otherwise im ( relatively )  healthy as a horse  ( except for my asthma situation of course ) .. so now what ?

What  can possibly be done about  reactive hypogylcemia except to eat more ?

 you need to research it...perhaps not eat more but more often and different kinds of things...I have no idea...it can happen though...let us know..ask Gina...she'll tell you...SEAVIEW

 LDL is the bad cholesterol, artery clogging. HDL is the good kind, artery clearing. I remember by thinking HDL is the "happy" kind. There are ratios that are important, too. 

I don't have diabetes any more, but I try to eat something every three hours or so. That keeps me even. I had 4 cherries and about 1/4 c. yoghurt before I went to the gym this morning. That seems to be enough. Then a protein iced decaf coffee later.

I'm at a crappy stall, but I feel better if I spread my food out over the day. Trying not to let volume creep in. It's getting tougher as I am almost 8 months out.

You take good care of yourself, so I know you'll find a way to cope with this new thing.
