[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2428234, member: 85785"] If I may, I would think that you had a type of hypoglycaemia, not many doctors or specialist endocrinologist would have the diagnostic tools we now use for tests. Because you were going hypo, the thinking back then would be that you are on your way to T1. So because of insulin resistance and high circulating insulin, your blood sugar levels would be in the diabetic levels. Despite the insulin, which was not used, your pancreas probably burned out and your insulin levels dropped. Hence the insulin you had to start taking. Over time this turned to Lada! That is the part that I don't get. What were your fasting blood glucose levels at that time? I am non diabetic, but if I had the same circumstances, I probably wouldn't have got the diagnostic tests. My fasting levels are always between 4-6mmols. I had to wait a long time for a second referral. I was told to eat healthy foods like porridge for breakfast, and like you I would get all the symptoms you have described. I was creating too much insulin because of carbs, every time I had a blood test back then, my levels would be high or on the way down with symptoms. Hope that you are not going hypo now. And yes you should have avoided the carbs, like me with RH, I am definitely carb intolerant. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
