[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1565693, member: 85785"] For those that are not aware of why RH is not a genetic condition. It is a endocrine system condition, or atypical asymptomatic with a metabolic condition. If it was genetic, why is it only a few men that have it? Why is it mostly women? Why do people who have bariatric surgery get the condition? And not have RH before surgery? Youngsters get Hypoglycaemia through childhood, they grow of it mostly. Women get symptoms, not the actual condition during pregnancy. Why does it take something like a stomach problem to trigger the condition? Hypoglycaemia is a natural occurrence, it only becomes a problem when it is episodic and frequent. According to my endocrinologist, RH develops because the gut brain trigger alters the insulin response. The reaction is that our pancreas creates the excess insulin because of an overshoot. Hyperinsulinaemia develops which causes the insulin resistance and the high glucose levels and high insulin levels. The only treatment is dietary. Hence the reference to a very low carb diet. Eating only meat works, having a few very low carb vegetables helps with balance of how our bodies adapt. Most of my meals are protein based. One of the things I've discovered is how the insulin is triggered by too much protein,, depending on which protein it is. Chicken is fine in small portions, whereas beef, you can have as much as you want, but I'm always full after a small steak, but I do have mushrooms and onions with it! RH is a condition that can be controlled by diet. To suggest other than being an endocrine issue is grasping at straws to discover how and why you have the condition. [/QUOTE]
