[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2049725, member: 41816"] Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the insulin producing cells in the pancreas are killed by the body’s own immune system. People with RH have an excess of inulin. So the two conditions are very different, and one does not lead into the other. However, type 2 diabetes is a condition of insulin resistance. Since RHers produce excess insulin, they may also develop type 2 over time, if their RH is uncontrolled, and they over burden their body’s capacity to deal with carbs, by eating too many carbs. My own experience is that my RH started in childhood. By my late teens i had discovered that carbs caused the symptoms, so I have now been low carbing for 30+ years. There have been times when my blood glucose levels have reached type2 diabetic levels, but all I have had to do is cut carbs back again, and have got back control. Now, aged 52, i have better blood glucose control than since developing RH. So no, diabetes is not an inevitable consequence of RH Although type2 diabetes is a possible consequence of uncontrolled RH. [/QUOTE]
