Ok, here goes!
Yes, you can have RH and T2!
Yes, you have all the symptoms of t2!
Yes RH can lead to T2
Yes, the levels of hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia does lead to T2!
Yes, if the symptoms of RH is predominately huperglycaemic, then diagnosis of T2 is given.
There is a difference between the condition of RH. And having the symptoms of RH!
Non diabetic RH is a seperate and totally different diagnosis and does not lead to T2, unless it is ignored.
As I posted earlier, there are many types of RH, which may or not be diagnosed as diabetic.
It is a condition of the pancreas, but you have always normal fasting levels.
The reason why I was diagnosed T2, was because, my glucose levels were higher than diabetic levels because I was constantly eating as a normal person would and my hbaic was in diabetic range. The carbs were feeding the high insulin and high glucose, I developed insulin resistance, the viscous circle continued upto really high levels of hyperglycaemia.
It wasn't until the tests for the reasons of hypoglycaemia, were done, eOGTT, 72 hour fasting and c-peptide and GAD were done, which eliminated other pancreatic conditions, that the diagnosis of 'Late Reactivve hypoglycaemia' was given.
It is non diabetic.
So, no RH does not lead to T2!
The reason why so many RH ers do develop T2 is because of the dietary advice! The eat carbs with every meal thing!
I don't believe that despite all the very low levels of actual research, non diabetic reactive hypoglycaemia, has been given as much thought to it as would other pancreatic conditions. Because most specialist endocrinologists have only seen RH ers with either T2 or a different form of hypoglycaemia.
I do stress that RH is a condition.
But you can have all the symptoms of RH, with other underlying hormonal conditions.
It is Unusual for somebody like me (a man) not to have other hormonal problems as well as RH!
Now
@Brunneria has probably had RH for a long time and developed T2, because of the viscious circle of high insulin etc. I believe the only way she can control it is by being in permanent ketosis.
Being in normal blood glucose levels range is the best way to be healthy with RH.
I look forward to the response.
