Reactive Hypoglycemia & Chronic Sinusitis

I do have Reactive Hypoglycemia and eating most carbohydrates such as sugar or chips or rice, etc., makes my sinuses inflamed. I'm 62 and it took me a long time to realize that is the issue. Also if my sinuses are inflamed I will get a migraine on top of the sinus infection. I bought a glucose meter to check my blood sugar and I had my proof my blood sugar was all out of whack. I would suggest getting one....Accu-Check by Roche seems to be a good one.

Hi, @danny95 -- you had mentioned you were going to see a specialist for some of the challenges you were experiencing with reactive hypoglycemia and chronic sinusitis. How did that go? Did you get the tests you were hoping for?
Hi, @danny95 -- just wanted to touch base and see what you learned when you saw the specialist about all the symptoms you were experiencing with the slightest bit of sugar?
@stfnwtl89 -- how are things going for your daughter? Have you decided whether to go to an endocrinologist?
@hayley3 -- how are you doing?
I looked here because yet again, my sinus is clogging with yellow mucus while I’m having a day of hypoglycemia.
My experience is the same one you received. “ we’re looking at multiple areas of expertise, so yada , yada. It’s true that with hypoglycemia goes ,headache, sinus mucus, agitation, brain fog, muscle pain, nightmares, and the desire to shake a doctor, because they don’t listen and try to pass you off to another specialty. The biggest downfall of the medical profession is tunnel vision to their particular specialty. Perhaps there’s a conference call needed here. WE’re NOT CRAZY. ITS HAPPENING. !!
