[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2400132, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome, I’m one of the people that [USER=101136]@Jaylee[/USER] tagged in about reactive hypoglycaemia, but if you are eating the same thing every day, at roughly the same times every day, but your insulin requirements are shifting/switching over months, then that is not like any RH I have ever heard of. To my non-medically trained eye it looks like your pancreas is switching its own insulin production off, then after a while, back on again. Posters on this forum mention experiences like this in a couple of circumstances (though not to the same extent or regular cycle). the first is the T1 honeymoon period, while the insulin producing beta cells stutter and fail due to the autoimmune system progressively killing off beta cells. Sometimes insulin injection requirements vary significantly. Then eventually the reliance on injected insulin becomes more consistent and things settle down. the second is when the pancreas is damaged through injury, or disease (often pancreatitis). This is called pancreatic insufficiency type 3c diabetes. The pancreas is unable to function properly and injected insulin is needed. Again, depending on the pancreatic damage (sometimes bouts of pancreatitis), insulin production can vary over time. so have you ever had pancreatic issues? And can you get a referral to an endo with experience in that field? Have they run the tests to establish whether you have T1? These would be to establish if you have antibodies that are killing your beta cells. my suggestion is that you get a second endo opinion. Someone who understands 3c and can investigate/eliminate that as a possibility. I will tag in [USER=362123]@Tophat1900[/USER] since he has 3c and can give his point of view. (Thanks Tophat, I seem to be tagging you regularly at the mo :) ) good luck, and I hope my comments have helped a bit. edited for typos [/QUOTE]
