These episodes usually occur two to four hours after a meal. It is thought that reactive hypoglycaemia is caused by the over-production of the hormone insulin (which lowers blood glucose levels) following a meal that is high in carbohydrates. Reactive hypoglycaemia is closely linked to what you eat and can often be managed by changes to your diet.<br /> <br /> ==Guidance==<br /> Discuss with MO<br /> <br /> <br /> Case by case assessment:<br /> Assess symptom burden and frequency.<br /> Enquire if this condition has been investigated (any formal blood glucose tests, hormone levels, scans etc) and does the donor have results of these tests?<br /> <br /> <br /> If largely asymptomatic and well controlled can go ahead. If poorly controlled or symptomatic more than weekly, unacceptable -&gt; defer.<br /> <br /> ==Pseudonyms or Related Conditions==<br /> Low blood sugar / glucose<br /> <br /> ==Version==<br /> Version 1, Edition 1<br /> <br /> ====Date of Last Update====<br /> 28 April 2026</div>
