Why don't insulin-resistant people experience reactive hypoglycemia?

[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2027848, member: 85785"] Thank you for the explanation of your other rare condition, with the not so less rare RH, you must be one in a billion (ish)! That must be tough on you! I sympathise, from my personal experience from those around you, family, friends, work colleagues who cannot be aware of how life has dealt the cards you have been given. I believe anyone who has had this type of experience and come through it all, is to be applauded and admired! Did the condition cause the RH? From what I have learned from a lot of research, RH is probably caused in the gut, by initially bacterial or an infection. The infection changes the balance of your hormonal response to food, this imbalance changes the way glucose, glucagon and glycogen is used, this lowers your initial insulin response, that triggers the overshoot of insulin because of the high levels of glucose from glucose dumping, this trigger, called an overshoot of insulin is the driver of the hypo. RH is an after effect of what happens after the infection/ bacteria has cleared up. Quite a few people who have surgery on the stomach, upper intestines, can get a similar reactive hypoglycaemic condition. I believe that my problem was that I had the bacteria, heliocobacter pylori! Then again, I could be totally wrong! Best wishes [/QUOTE]
