Erasmus : For the average patient, typical symptoms involve episodes of hunger or shakes which are eased eventually, by ingestion of food. Regular food intake is a mainstay of treatment. Some patients relate that they develop a severe craving for sweet foods at odd times, or if they are a bit late for a meal. Many people end up thinking that they are just hungry. Problem solved, (from their point of view).
Dr Xxxxx feels that Hypoglycaemia is an early transition phase in the development of the disease: diabetes. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) causes hunger, shakes, faintness, illness. The Paill Spectrum model suggests insulin resistance is developing. The most obvious sign of this is the development of obesity as measured by BMI or Body Mass Index. hypoglycemia can be due to insulin producing tumors but this is a very rare cause. The Paill Spectrum model proposes alternative treatments for hypoglycemia may be possible.
Kinkajou : How Do I know I have this?
DR Xxxxx : Typical Symptoms are:
Erasmus : Hypoglycemia occurs irregularly and unpredictably in the average person who may suffer from this condition.
The normal medical model states that there is no cause for this condition.
DR Xxxxx : In the Paill Spectrum model, hypoglycemia occurs due to the underlying process of breakdown of glucose stores due to adrenergic and glucagonic hormone activation. Paill Spectrum encourages the breakdown of glucose stored in the body ( as glycogen). At times, the body simply runs out of glucose reserves, because the body's metabolism has wasted all its stored glucose.

Under most circumstances, with regular food intake, blood glucose levels are maintained. A trigger event would generally be required to push the patient "over the edge" into hypoglycemia. Typical trigger events would be late meals, skipped meals, delayed gastric (stomach) emptying due to types of food ingested, unexpected activity or exercise and events such as "illness".
The condition is generally self limiting as hypoglycemia triggers hunger .Eating occurs as a result, with eventual resultant easing of the hypoglycemia. Indeed, victims of this condition often learn that they need more regular food intake to prevent hypoglycemia occurring. They manage their own problem. Just as well, since many doctors do not even accept that the condition exists. :-| :-}>
Many patients never even see their doctor about their hypoglycemia as they have learnt to manage their own issues. After all, just eating will stop the hypoglycemia. People find their own explanations where none are available. Perhaps they have a fast metabolism or it's just their genes telling them that they like sweet things. That must be why they get those food cravings, or so they tell themselves. Back To Hypoglycemia Top
Kinkajou: If I Ask My Doctor, What will He / She Say?
(A Doctors' Eye View of Hypoglycemia)
DR Xxxxx : The problem for most doctors is that there are
It is very hard to objectively measure if a person has hypoglycemia. The word hypoglycemia triggers a medical association with insulin producing tumors (Insulinomas). (Doctors are taught that this is one of the important causes of hypoglycemia.) Insulin producing tumors are important , but they are also rare. So investigation of the average patient (usually doing tests that search for these tumors), essentially finds nothing wrong with the patient. Back To Hypoglycemia Top
In medical reasoning, if you are likely to find that there is nothing wrong with a person, there is no reason to do any investigation or testing of the person's medical condition. Makes sense! Doctors learn that investigating patients with hypoglycemia gives a swag of normal test results in every case. So taking the effort to do the testing is not worthwhile. Why bother doing the tests when you know that they will be normal.
Erasmus : However, the Paill Spectrum model attaches a much more important significance to the event of hypoglycemia. There is indeed something going wrong. The difficulty is that what is going wrong is variable in presenting itself, is very subtle and the real problems take decades to appear. :-/

DR Xxxxx : In Paill Spectrum theory, hypoglycemia is not the simple condition that doctors in the western world imagine. It is a precursor to insulin resistance and perhaps diabetes over the next few decades. The implication is obvious. In the Paill Spectrum Model Insulin resistance & diabetes should be treated at an early stage of development, not at the late stage with classical diagnostic criteria that doctors now employ. Since the big medical problems take so long to become serious, small treatments producing small changes in how the body works, can make a long term difference to the health of the individual over the next few decades. Back To Hypoglycemia Top
The Paill Spectrum model that Dr. Xxxxx pioneered states that that the condition of hypoglycemia is many years in developing, before the first symptoms of serious glucose intolerance arise. Diabetes is a disease of glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. Diabetes is a sign of pancreatic island cell failure, occurring very late in the progress of a condition exacerbating insulin resistance.
Kinkajou: The Paill Spectrum model predicts
that the course of the development of insulin resistance can be changed
by Paill Spectrum treatment.
This is possible, but not necessarily easy.
DR Xxxxx : As pancreatic islet cells are affected directly or indirectly by the Paill Spectrum disease process, insulin resistance begins to develop from an early stage. Once the patient is insulin resistant due to the presence of anti-insulin hormones ( i.e. the adrenaline like or adrenergic hormones , and the hormone glucagon predominantly), the stage is set for "trigger" events to push the patient into episodes of hypoglycemia. This are of course in the short term, fixed by eating.

Erasmus : The Paill Spectrum model of disease as developed by Dr. Xxxxx suggests that in the future BMI (Body Mass Index) measurement will be as basic and essential as taking a patient's blood pressure. The standards of BMI are currently geared for cardiovascular consequences of overweight not for insulin resistance development, and development of Paill Spectrum complications. In the long term, Dr. Xxxxx states that it is likely the standards for BMI may be reduced to allow targeting of early insulin resistance (and therefore prevention of hypoglycemia and worse). BMI is so easy to do as a test, that it is perhaps the easiest and least technical screening test to diagnose who needs to be properly investigated and perhaps treated for insulin resistance.
There is no robust accepted explanation for the genesis of hypoglycemia or diabetes in the world today.
The Paill Spectrum model gives "one" theory to explain these events.

Why are we getting so fat? Isn't it just eating too much?
( go to What went Wrong Food etc.)
Kinkajou : Many of these symptoms and signs are of illness
are common to all Paill Spectrum Illnesses,
in the Paill Spectrum Model.
The same list of unexpected findings would occur in many patients with a Paill Spectrum condition, since the underlying disease process is the same in all the illnesses.
Erasmus : Hypoglycaemia is an early transition phase in the development of the disease diabetes. Low blood sugar causes hunger, shakes, faintness, illness. The Paill Spectrum model suggests insulin resistance is developing. The Paill Spectrum model of disease proposes new alternative treatments for illness. The Paill Spectrum model of disease also proposes a definition of the illness in terms of symptoms, signs, investigations and response to treatment.

Erasmus : Typical Symptoms are: hunger and faintness, a need to eat and a craving for sweet things. The key concept in hypoglycaemia is that this arises from low blood sugar levels that develop far faster than in a “normal” person. This ties in with Paill concepts in the development of diabetes and obesity.
Erasmus : The Paill Spectrum model suggests insulin resistance is developing. Hypoglycaemia is an intermediate step in the development of insulin resistance and abnormal sugar / glucose tolerance. This person is likely to eventually develop diabetes.
Food intake is the current mainstay of treatment. The Paill Spectrum model proposes new alternative treatments for the key agent in the damage that starts off development of hypoglycaemia.
Kinkajou : Too much of what we see commonly day to day is accepted as normal or a consequence of the age.
You need to ask the question: Why is this happening? Why is this event occurring?
