[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1132048, member: 41816"] we all (RHers) have excess insulin. Comes with the territory. our bodies pump it out in response to carbs, but (for a variety of reasons, we pump out too much). As soon as our bodies are exposed to excessive amounts of insulin, we start to develop insulin resistance (usually long before we get any symptoms), and we can be like that for years, until the rest of the system starts to break down - hyperinsulinemia is a common feature of RHers, and T2s, because they both have insulin resistance. There is a great video on You Tube, think it is by the Fat Emperor, interviewing Kraft 'The Father of the Insulin Assay' which explains the whole process, which can go on for decades before the symptoms start. great pity they don't seem to test insulin production on the NHS, to help with diagnosis, they just look at glucose levels. Cheaper I suppose. Plus the fact that most NHS staff have never even heard of RH. :( [/QUOTE]
