    So, maybe that could actually help you. Muscles are really important for glucose metabolism. I hope to get lower insulin resistance, when I get more muscles again.

    Well, vitamin D is really, really important. I'm at home, being unable to work for the last 1.5 years because of vitamin D deficiency. It means your muscles can't work properly and some of the muscles slowly get smaller and smaller.

    It sounds really difficult, I hope this endocrinologist will pay attention and be able to help you.

    Oh no. Poor you. Can you do a moderate low carb, like 100 g of carbs a day, slow carbs?

    Oh my, that sounds awful. I think you'll have to listen to them and do as they say. Then they can see whether that works. It's true that continued ketosis makes one more glucose intolerant, as enzymes for sugar metabolism are regulated down when they are not needed.

    In the morning, the liver produces glucose and releases it to the blood. It's popularly called a liver dump. So for most people, there's a rise in blood sugar in the morning.

    Well, good news that you don't have an insulinoma! I'm happy that they're taking it seriously and trying to figure out what's going on. And don't mind the nurse, she's just applying standard advice to your abnormal case.

    You might not have it, as your symptoms are not reversed by administration of glucose.

    As I understand, for the diagnosis of insulinoma there also needs to be high insulin. Maybe there wasn't? See here: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/283039-overview#a1
