[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1568847, member: 85785"] I have Reactive Hypoglycaemia, the same as you! We all differ in small details but we both have the same reaction to what we eat! You have the same symptoms! You have not I believe been seeing an endocrinologist for some years. The point I'm making is you insist on a genetic answer to the condition, myself and my endocrinologist disagree with your theory. He is a specialist endocrinologist who has experience with more than twenty RH patients, mostly women. He has done extensive research into gestational diabetes, and the concurrent symptoms with Hypoglycaemia. He has other patients with Hypoglycaemia, which differ from RH, the likes of hyperinsulinaemia, insulinoma, pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis and other pancreatic conditions. So who do I believe is nearer to the truth, you or my specialist? Our condition just over a decade ago, was not called Late Reactive Hypoglycaemia, it was termed idiopathic hypoglycaemia. Why because idiopathic means no known cause. Since then, some basic research has been done along with other types of hypoglycaemia. And in due course the testing, diagnostic procedure and how to treat the various hypoglycaemic and pancreatic conditions have altered as we learn more about the condition. Where we agree is not to let the condition take over our health by eating the right foods so that we don't get ill! You are right to try to get answers, but do keep an open mind that the 'hunter gene' is not the answer you have been searching for all these years. I have a large family and we do have some health problems, for instance my grandson has Kleinfelters syndrome. So if RH is genetic, why am I the only one? Out of thirty two people in my immediate family, only myself has this condition! None of my female relatives has suffered from gestational diabetes! I can't prove it of course, but I doubt if my condition is hereditary! Best wishes [/QUOTE]
