Mike,
Thanks for your comments. I posted a reply on your blogspot bog. Repeated here for anyone who’s interested:
Mike,
Thanks for your comment on my blog at tudiabetes (type2runner). I’ve never heard of KPD so thank you for bringing it to my attention. Its in my folder of “stuff to research more”.
It certainly sounds like what happened to me, though key markers don’t match-up. For instance it seems like you had active symptoms for a long time, in the time periods you were not active. This wasn’t the case for me: my periods of activity came and went but I never had any symptoms until a month before diagnosis. I also have no immediate family members with the disease. An uncle developed it in his 60s and a great-grandmother had it, but otherwise, no one i know of. Also, though I know this isn’t a key indicator: I’m non-hispanic white. Seems like most of the info I’m seeing out there is about people of african and mexican descent. I wasn’t obese either. And my insulin resistance is minimal: though this could certainly because of the high level of exercise I engage in…
Thanks
Troy
