A member asked:
I have functional hypoglycemia will it do me any harmto have fasting glucose 6.0 up to 7.8mmol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A fasting glucose of 6.0 is in the "impaired glucose tolerance" range, 7.8 is in the diabetes range. Trying to raise your blood sugar above normal will not help your symptoms of hypoglycemia, and may potentially make it worse, as you will be prone to more reactive hypoglycemia. You need to avoid high carb foods that raise your sugar excessively.
