I know I baffled quite a few doctors, dsns and even a specialist diabetic GP, then an endocrinologist. Even a few locums! (Ha!)
The training has always been lax, with the endocrine system, simply because of the lack of research.
It wasn't that long ago, that everybody wasn't aware and quite rare T2 was, the teaching has improved, but only about high blood glucose levels, which is a common cause of T2, but so is high insulin, or hyperinsulinaemia, there are so many new reasons for T2.
Hypoglycaemia has only ever been called idiopathic hypoglycaemia, because idiopathic means cause not known.
Only in the last ten years has it had its medical name changed to the different types of Hypoglycaemia. Who would have thought that people have too much insulin and how dangerous it can be, and in my experience, have high blood glucose levels as well!
And not be T1, it has to be T2, with high blood glucose levels, high insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia!
Then, when losing the weight, losing the insulin resistance, getting normal readings from the hba1c test, getting fasting levels in the normal range! It's still T2!
No it ain't!
Having produced too much insulin after food, is not T2, the doctors are not taught that!
You can't blame them!
But from reading the number of posts from people with the same symptoms I do believe that there is a lot more misdiagnosed patients out there and I'm not as weird or as rare as I was told over five years ago!
