[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 648520, member: 41816"] Hi I had no idea that prefix thingy even existed! I always open up the section of the forum I want and then start the thread. I thought that was how you HAD to do it. :oops: I'm afraid that I really can't give a figure on nos of RHs. I will have a Google and see if I can come up with some figures. However, I predict it is very difficult to estimate for a number of reasons: It may be that almost everyone who gets carb cravings has RH :wideyed: But how would you estimate those numbers? It would be a heck of a lot though. Doctors can only diagnose it with prolonged fasting blood tests [USER=85785]@nosher8355[/USER] 's was 72 hours in a hospital, so that gets very expensive. Or by OGTT tests that run for much longer than the usual 2 hours (I think). So they only test if you nag and nag and nag. Like @nosher did. But very few people do that (I didn't). I just ran out of the capacity to fight. Since it is rarely diagnosed, most doctors ignore it or deny it exists and prescribe antidepressants, anti anxiety meds and tell people to lose weight (my own experience is that in approx 40 years of RH, no doctor ever took any notice. It was only after I was tested for prediabetes (cos of medication and PCOS increasing the odds) that anyone recognised my BG levels might be out of wack. Providing numbers may be impossible, but I will try... In the meantime THANK YOU @Everyone in support of this idea. If we end up with a new section and it helps anyone at all, then it is well worth it. (I am absolutely certain that I felt much worse as a RH suffer than I do as a type 2 sufferer, which may give an idea of how miserably grim it can be!) [/QUOTE]
