New member & thanks for some very informative threads, particularly RH.
My doctor told me I was insulin resistant. Did I misunderstand as it is usually associated with obesity?
At school I went from A student to D for dropout over 4 yrs. I fell 'asleep' mid morning & was exempted if I couldn't make it back from lunch. In my 30's I had a new lease of life when I discovered I was Celiac & obviously dairy allergic. That lower carb sufficed until I had to go grain free with Paleo 2 yrs ago. I am now 60. A pre-xmas party, vegetarian, selected Paleo except high carb, sent me extremely reactive hypoglycemic which I thought I understood from my 30's. At the doctor's my FBG was 5.8 on the day, to be expected on Paleo, so the doctor missed pre T2 diagnosis. Initially my FBG monitoring showed some 11's & 3's.Generally under 6 now getting toward 4's. I am working through fat adaption, [keto]. I have always been skinny, fit from work when not hypo.
So 2 questions; Have I misunderstood insulin resistance? Was I missed diagnosed diabetic & celiac never was part of the problem other than grains not being fit for consumption.
