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 prediabetic). I have figured out that “hunter” gene people’s A1C is strongly correlated to the amount of sugar/starch/alcohol they have eaten (diagnosed as prediabetic). I have a question I want answered. What fraction of the people diagnosed as prediabetic are simply people with the “hunter” gene?
The following may be helpful. People with the "hunter" gene are producing hormones which produce insulin resistance all the time. Such hormones are known to be produced by the placenta (HPL). When the blood sugar gets too high they turn off the hormones. Unfortunately, if pregnant women did this they would effect the hormones produced by the placenta and the baby would die. Therefore they continue to produce the hormones and are diabetic.
