HI
I have concluded with high probability that the 2 forms of reactive hypoglycemia are due to the same autoimmune problem. I assume you know about the standard reactive hypoglycemia. This occurs with people with the “normal” method of processing sugar. I have the “hunter” (“stingy”) gene. I am usually in an insulin resistant state. I leave this state when my body thinks my blood sugar may get too high. I now assume what happens at that juncture is the hormones producing insulin resistant are stopped and if that does not seem to be enough I have the insulin reaction you are very familiar with as it leads to your hypoglycemia. My body then waits for the hormones to clear. That seems to take well over an hour and then I have the “normal” insulin reaction. I get my hypoglycemia at the end of this insulin release if I eat too much sugar and therefore generate a lot of insulin. What is happening with me is I am getting your type insulin release whether I have eaten enough sugar to warrant it or not. Since I am in an insulin resistant state I avoid the worst symptoms of the insulin release but I get lower blood sugar and I get very tired.
I had symptoms in 1957 which are consistent with one type cell in my adrenal glands being destroyed. I now assume the same autoimmune reaction happened to you. This cell seems to be used in starting the hormones which create insulin resistance. The “normal” people without your autoimmune problem only create these hormones when you eat a lot of sugar and generate enough insulin to lead to an overshoot (hypoglycemia). These cells are also involved in starting the insulin release for my type of sugar processing when it seems warranted. I assume that much of the plumbing used in both forms of sugar processing is available whichever method your genetics determine will be used. After all we can interbreed.
