How To Confirm Hyperinsulinism?
I am 42 and battling what I think is hyperinsulinism. I have constant hypoglycemia. I weigh 130. I cannot seem to eat carbs almost at all without having horrible episodes. My bloodsugars lowest (recorded) was 30 and that was after food to try to bring it up. My doctor thought I had MS at one point because of Many spots on my brain. (No MS symptoms) After reading all this for several years I think the "spots" are just from the extreme effects of my blood sugar.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
You have reactive hypoglycemia. As your blood sugar rises more than necessary insulin is released driving your sugar to low levels.
You should eat only low GI food which will not raise your blood sugar to high levels.
I shall be happy to answer if you have any further queries .
The spots in the brain can be from micro infarcts.
