Hello this is my first post and i really need the help of someone who has knowledge with possible insuline reactions.
I try to make it as short as possible.
Background: I have massive insomnia of unknown origin. All standard procedures and docs have been tried an failed. Along with that insomnia another symptom is my tremendously weird and excessive reaction to all exogenous hormones, e.g. i can't take thyroid hormones despite hypothyroidism or VitD despite VitD deficiency. Other non hormonal substances work more or less normal.
Now to my question: The last doc (a sleep medic) thought it was a good idea to inject 12 units of long lasting insuline into me. It was his own theory that involves melatonine receptors in the pancreas. A glucose-tolerance test that was done beforehand showed a normal reaction after 1 hour and a slightly elevated blood glucose after 2 hours but no real diabetes signs. The only diabetic symptom i showed beforehand was a bit elevated thirst and easy weight gain.
Since this single injection i had massive hot flashes after eating sugar, headaches after eating in general, increases in thirst and urination, numb genitals and erectile dysfunction. These symptoms are still present now 5 months after to more or less extend and are not treated by any doc despite of me reaching out to several because nobody has an idea how an insuline reaction could have caused this.
Since i'm treating myself already more or less successfully for the insomnia (which doesn't have any effect on the diabetes symptoms and vice versa after the occuring of those symptoms my insomnia didn't change) i wonder if anybody has an idea which organic reaction exactly could have caused this so i have something to base my research on.
It's also important to note that any of those classic type 2 solutions like cinnamon, cloves, chromium, exercise or low carb doesn't improve it or actually tends to worsen it.
