[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1473780, member: 41816"] I see where you are coming from, but hyperinsulinaemia doesn't necessarily mean hypos. (I'm talking about T2, rather than T1s, because T2s are still producing their own insulin) If there is a lot of insulin floating around and there is insulin resistance too, then the person may never experience a hypo - and the majority of T2s don't go hypo unless they start taking the stronger drugs like Gliclazide or Insulin. So the majority of T2s have hyperinsulinaemia. Someone with RH has hyperinsulinaemia because they produce a lot of insulin. This makes it likely that they have insulin resistance too. And risk burning out beta cells. But they [B][I]also [/I][/B]have a problem in halting or getting rid of the insulin when it has done its job (via glucagon, which is released to prevent pushing blood glucose to low). There can be many reasons for this, because there are different forms of RH (with various different names). But basically, RH seems to be when excess insulin pushes blood glucose too low, and the body (for whatever reason) fails to halt the process before a hypo develops. Edited to add the last four words. :) [/QUOTE]
