    I diagnosed myself in 1964. My problem has recently been recognized. Am I alone?

    In 1957 I started having symptoms which a smart doctor realized (my educated guess) in late 1963 sounded like low sugar episodes. When my glucose tolerance test rose for 2 hours before dropping precipitously (test extended) in the third hour the (expert?) doctor said I was prediabetic and...

    I have a hypothesis about there being a misdiagnosed prediabetes for some people

    Hi I have a web site (not allowed to name it) which describes a hypothesis about sugar processing in humans. 4 people from google have thoroughly read my web site and they take my money to advertise in the U.S. and India. I am now read by an average of about 25 people in the U.S. each day...

    can type 1 diabetes be controlled with diet?

    Hi I have a rare (in the U.K.) form of reactive hypoglycemia. I completely control my problem with a very low-carb diet. I guess I have been doing this for over 12 years. I have genetics (there are a bunch of us) so that I do not lose weight on a low-carb diet. I am presently losing...

    I control my severe? reactive hypoglycemia with a low carb diet

    Hi I have suffered from a form of reactive hypoglycemia since 1957. If I eat a lot of sugar/starch/alchol I get low sugar about 3 1/2 hours later. For over 12 years I have controlled my problem by eating a low-carb diet. With my genetics (many Indians have my gene) I do not lose weight...

    If you control type 2 diabetes with diet do you lose weight on a low-carb diet (no medicine).

    Hi I have reactive hypoglycemia. I haven't had a bad episode in about 40 years. I live on a low-carb diet. I saw part of a program on the Public Broadcasting System (U.S.). The doctor defined a "hunter" gene as people who did not lose weight on his weight lose diet. I found out...

    Do you think that some HbA1c measurements could be inaccurate?

    Hi I exist on a very low-carb diet. I can do so since I have the "hunter" gene. That means I put out hormones which create insulin resistance most of the time. All of the time with my diet. This means that my fasting blood sugar would almost certainly be very near the low blood sugar for...

    What does (u.s. units). fasting blood sugar 112 and H1A1c 5.3 mean

    Hi My primary care physician does not know what is the implied average blood sugar for an H1A1c of 5.3 (% I assume) means. I am under the impression that my fasting blood sugar taken at the same time as 112 (U.S. units) is probably nearly as high or higher than the average blood sugar for...

    Are most people with prediabetes actually people with the "hunter" gene

    The "hunter" gene was defined by a doctor on Public Broadcasting System in the U.S. He said such people did not lose weight on his weight lose diet (low carb). He said he found that such people had a glucose tolerance test which rose (slowed its rise) for the 2 hours of the test. Such...

    How many people diagnosed as prediabetes actually simply have the "hunter" gene

    Help… The “hunter” gene was defined by a weight loss doctor (low carb diet) on the Public Broadcasting System in the U.S. as people who did not lose weight on his diet. He explained that such people had a glucose tolerance test where their blood sugar increased for over 2 hours (diagnosed as...

    no one listens. Where should I post?

    Hi I have the "hunter" gene. I am usually insulin resistant. If I hadn't developed reactive hypoglycemia this is no problem. Us people cut the hormones (probably the same ones found in the placenta) when necessary. We can live forever (not quite that long) on a hunter gatherer diet. I...

    All women with the "hunter" gene get gestational diabetes.

    Help… Using serendipity I have figured out that all women with the “hunter” gene get gestational diabetes. The “hunter” gene was defined by a weight loss doctor (low carb diet) on the Public Broadcasting System in the U.S. as people who did not lose weight on his diet. He explained that such...

    Is your Prediabetes simply the "hunter" gene?

    Hi I have believe found out that there is a gene which is usually diagnosed as prediabetes because people(me) with that gene process sugar differently than the "normal" gene people. The doctor in the U.S. who found the different glucose tolerance test called it the "hunter" gene since we fail...

    This is my latest (final)attempt at an ad (journal article)

    Hi Any suggestions etc.. I have the “hunter” (“thrifty”) gene do you? This is an explanation of why I had such disturbing symptoms for about 50 years until I figured out that a very low sugar/starch/alcohol(S) diet seemed to be relieving my symptoms. It then took approximately an additional...

    Why do I get tired?

    Hi First thanks. From postings about reactive hypoglycemia (RH) I have written a section of my ad about the proper treatment of RH. I have the following question. In my type of RH I get hypoglycemia after over 3 hours after eating too much sugar. When I eat more than a little sugar but...

    Can the standard reactive hypoglycemia be controlled with diet?

    Hi I probably have the autoimmune problem which leads to reactive hypoglycemia. I have the "hunter" ("thrifty") gene and I therefore have different symptoms. I have figures out that when my blood sugar is getting too high my body turns off the hormones that produce insulin resistance. I...

    The 2 types of reactive hypoglycemia are due to the same problem.

    HI I have concluded with high probability that the 2 forms of reactive hypoglycemia are due to the same autoimmune problem. I assume you know about the standard reactive hypoglycemia. This occurs with people with the “normal” method of processing sugar. I have the “hunter” (“stingy”) gene...

    Can you help me write my journal article or ad?

    I have been using you (my appoligies if necessary) to figure out a major contribution (my opinion) about the way humans process sugar. Any comments, corrections etc... for the following journal article (sort of accepted but I will believe it when I see it) would be appreciated. Please do not...

    How to fund a study of the GTT of women before,during and after pregnancy?

    Hi I have offered to help fund a study of the glucose tolerance test of women before, during and after pregnancy. I will bet that women whose glucose tolerance test rises for over 2 hours before suddenly dropping will have sugar problems. I wonder if there are subpopulations of such...

    I have concluded that people with my genetics turn on and off insulin resistance./the 'thrifty gene'

    Hi On a severe Atkins diet with my genetics (glucose tolerance test rises for over 2 hours and then heads south, do not necessarily lose weight on a severe Atkins diet, many people in the near east do this), that my body is turning on insulin resistance until my blood sugar rises (what ever...

    What is the expected blood sugar reading if a diabetic uses a severe Atkins diet?

    Hi I have good reason to believe that I have simulated what a diabetic would get if they used a severe Atkins diet for app 7 years. Over that time my blood sugar had a very slight upwards bias. My most recent readings are 99 fasting and 5.8 A1C. Is this what you would expect?
