A member asked:
Could an insulinoma cause hypoglycaemia in as little as 10 minutes after having a high carb meal? my blood sugar went from 100 down to 49 in 10 mins

Need more info: Did you have any symptoms? How was blood sugar tested? Why was it tested? It is more than likely that the second result was erroneous. If you still have concerns, talk to your doctor for getting a c-peptide level in your serum. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
