Hi Just for your information. The reason I concluded that I had an autoimmune disease which attacked one cell of my adrenal glands was that in 1957 (when I got sick) I had an episode (I Ignored like a lot of people who get Type 1 diabetes when young) and lost weight for about 2 months and all...

Hi I do not know why people do not realize that if one type of cell in your adrenal glands is distroyed (autoimmune disease) that you could easily have our symptoms? After all narcolepsy seems to be due to one type cell in the brain being affected. Chronic Fatigue Syndom sounds like the...

HI Sounds like we are fellow travellers. I have no problem with an Atkins diet. Get my vits from low carb vegees. I (guess?) the adrenal glands because of my obvious autoimmune reaction (1957) which should have attacked one type of cell. Which one could it be and what would lead to my...

Hi I miswrote. I was meaning (on second thought) that I think that doctors have not as yet recognized that you can have subtle problems with your adrenal glands which fouls up the timing of the enzymes necessary for processing sugar. I happen to have a much more easily diagnosed (also...

Hi If you read my posts you will see that you might have the hunter gene since one of my symptoms is very similar to yours. It makes sense that the problems of most people with reactive hypoglucemia would be different from the small (not that small) with the hunter gene. Neil

Of interest? I would help support a study ($) of what women’s GTT (glucose tolerance test) was before pregnancy. I would help support a study ($) of what the actual GTT of people with normal A1C is. Why? I have the following facts. My GTT 1964 70, ½ hr 130, 1 hr 175, 2 hr 185, extended 3 hr...

Hi You are talking to the wrong person. I am 77 years old. I had my autoimune? episode in 1957 (think type 1 diabetes). I had my glucose tolerance test in 1964 (the doctor said I was prediabetic (wrong does not lead to diabetes), prediabetes is defined as high blood sugar after 2 hours of...

Hi I have symptoms similar to 1/3 of a severe case of chronic fatigue syndorm without an Atkins diet. I had an autoimune type event (1957,think what happens when you end up with type 1 diabetes). My guess is that I have killed one type of cell in my adrenal glands and that has fouled up the...

Hi After feedback I have updated an ad I will probably place in the N.Y. Times Science Section (better explanation). I have the following facts. My glucose tolerance test 1964 70, ½ hr 130, 1 hr 175, 2 hr 185, extended 3 hr 100 (diagnosis prediabetic assumed insulin resistant). I have never...

Hi Then why was I rejected for treatment by the Joslin Dibaetic Clinic's expert on reactive hypoglycemia. The one they talk about has immediate effects and is not controlable with an Atkins diet. I have not found anyone except my relative with this symptom.

Hi (GTT glucose tolerance test is probably test you are talking about). I have changed my theory to some people. I have bought an ad in the N.Y. Times about the fact that in 1957 I had an episode (as did my relative (virus?)) similar to what happens to people who end up with type 1 diabetes...

Hi What does this have to do with anything? I do not have sugar problems. I simply have the glucose tolerance test which in my opinion has been read as insulin resistance but is actually a gene which is very good in famines (do not waste energy changing sugar into fat and storing sugar in...

My glucose tolerance test 1964 70, ½ hr 130, 1 hr 175, 2 hr 185, extended 3 hr 100 (referred to as a glucose tolerance test for prediabetes). I have never had a high A1C or fasting blood sugar. A relative was informed that they were sure to become a diabetic in 2 years or less over 30 years...

I just watched the great Randy. If you think I am an imposter check out my theory. That is all I want in any case. See what fraction of the population is prediabetic with no other symptoms (me for 77 years or from at least from 1964). Is it close to the 10% as the diet doctor reported or...

No. Why should I? I have had no problem of that type for as long as I can remember. I have never had a high A1C (maybe low 1 year). I have never had a high fasting blood sugar. This is also true of my relative (with a caveat if you insist I can ask if I can tell) who had such a bad GTT...

Hi I am not a diabetic but I was diagnosed as a prediabetic in a 1964 glucose tolerance test (70, 1/2 hr 130, 1 hr 175 , 2 hr 185 , extended 3 hr 100). I have a relative who was declared to be sure they would have diabetes in 2 years over 30 years ago (no problem). There was a weight loss...
