The new book TYPE 4 DIABETES by Bob Ranson shows that there is more to insulin resistance than we thought. After reading this, I asked some questions, and found no answers in the literature. While we test blood sugar and attribute all kinds of problems to it, we say almost nothing about the level of cell sugar. With insulin resistance, high blood sugar will usually mean low blood sugar. In the cell is where sugar has its effect, and fuel for energy and materials that the body needs. Low cell sugar might happen with insulin resistance long before blood sugar rises. Numerous pathological conditions (neuropathy, fatigue, eye and kidney problems) could be due to low blood sugar, hypoglycellia. Measuring insulin level might be a vital diagnostic test for many conditions. Books by Al Sears and Ron Rosedale speak of the value of insulin testing.
Bob Ranson found that he had to keep his blood sugar up to 100 to avoid neuropathy attacks. Doctors would not call that hypoglycemia, but why not attribute it to hypoglycellia?
