[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1999456, member: 85785"] I believe you are correct in your logical assumption that the symptoms of both RH and type two diabetes is very similar and you would think there would be more actual diagnosed patients with RH! The difference is something I discovered by reading all sorts of reports and papers on why RH is quite rare and type two is as you say rampant. You can have T2 and also the condition of RH. You can have T2 and also the symptoms of RH. If you only have the condition of RH, and if you have fasting levels of normal blood levels, you cannot have diabetes! There is a distinction between RH the condition and having the symptoms of RH. They are different in diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis of hyperinsulinaemia (high levels of insulin) is common in T2. It is relevant in the diagnosis of insulin resistance. A weak insulin response to carbs, is indicative of insulin resistance. Hyperglycaemia is caused by insulin resistance. High spikes are caused by a weak insulin response. The difference between T2 and RH, with these circumstances, is with RH, during fasting times, your blood glucose levels returns to normal, whereas a T2, will return to diabetic levels. I would imagine there are many more, like I was, misdiagnosed with T2, and having normal fasting levels, but because of rampant hyperinsulinaemia, hyperglycaemia, and all the symptoms, the doctor doesn't have the knowledge to know the difference. Why would they know? Most doctors would never have the training and the diagnostic tools to get a true diagnosis. I believe that it is becoming less rare with time and more knowledgeable endocrinologists. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
