HiIf you wish to ask questions or are interested in asking anything pertaining to hypoglycaemia, diabetic or non diabetic. Ask here.
I live on a low carb diet. Since I have the "hunter" gene I have to control my fats to not get fatter (see gestational diabetes). I got a probable auto-immune reaction in 1957. I ended up with late onset hypoglycemia after eating too much sugar/starch/alcohol. By the time I took my glucose tolerance test in 1964 my body had adjusted and I get mild shaking episodes as my body restarts the hormones I am supposed to restart when I have an insulin release to prevent low blood sugar. This is not as good as it sounds since this lead to other distressing symptoms. People with reactive hypoglycemia stop giving off hormones to prevent low blood sugar. The chemistry involved in creating the problem is what your RH people are detecting. Many people refuse to listen to me but I advertise on google in the U.S. and India and the number of people who go to my site every day averages over 100 and is slowly rising. I provide many ways to communicate but almost no one responds. 3 women have sent me thanks since we are the people who get gestational diabetes and it has nothing to do with diet. Obviously you should control your diet when you are pregnant. People who have the "hunter" gene get late onset reactive hypoglycemia. If you have late onset reactive hypoglycemia you probably have the "hunter" gene. I am looking for women who get gestational diabetes but do not have the "hunter" gene. I am trying to find out what fraction of the people who are diagnosed as prediabetic are actually "hunter" gene people. Our A1c is strongly correlated to the amount of sugar/starch/alcohol we have eaten. We can get diabetes but a high A1c means little or maybe nothing.
