Does anyone have any experience with reta hypoglycemia? I have a family member (F73) wanting to start retatrutide but she suffers from hypoglycemic episodes. (She is not diabetic, doesn’t drink, etc.) I just want to ensure the risks associated with reta usage aren’t of more concern for her with this condition.
I’ve read every thread on this forum that mentions hypoglycemia but don’t see anything about someone already having recurrent hypoglycemia before starting reta. I haven’t found much out on the web in my searches either.
I’ve seen that GLP1s can exasperate hypoglycemia, but that the risk is lower with reta due to the glucagon receptor targeting. My thought is that hypoglycemia is another form of metabolic disorder, which reta should help stabilize. If she sticks with a low dose, eats small meals throughout the day (even if not particularly hungry) and monitors blood sugar, she should be able to give it a go to see how well it is tolerated. Does this logic seem reasonable? I’d appreciate any thoughts or experience you have with this combo. Thank you.
