[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 1602158, member: 277199"] [USER=446721]@DodgyD[/USER] Unfortunately, the technology for home insulin meter is not available. In fact very few Dr offers OGTT with insulin test to confirm reactive hypoglycemia or a hypoglycemia condition such as yours. Some of us are able to make the connection only after our T2D diagnosis and stumbled upon the information that years or decades before we became T2D, we had experience frequent hypoglycemic events without realizing what it was. It was simply brushed off as being grow spurts etc...just eat more frequently. But in reality it is the beginning of a metabolic dysfunction or loss of metabolic balance that was not recognized. Dr Joseph Kraft correctly identified that this should be the early stage or progression of T2D...even before there loss of glycemic control. At this stage, the pancreas is still capable of producing large amount of insulin to hold the glucose level with normal/healthy range. But over time, if there is no change in diet, there will be beta cells exhaustion and more frequent glucose spikes and crashes. Understanding this early in life gives us the chance to prevent further deterioration of the condition. Knowing that we can be fueled by both glucose and ketones help us to provide our brain and body with alternative stable energy sources to counter the effects of low blood glucose. Consider adding some virgin coconut oil/butter to your coffee. [/QUOTE]
