Talk:Hyperinsulinism

old version

I removed the following because of multiple errors.

Hyperinsulinism is a condition in which the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, the hormone that functions to control blood sugar levels. (this basic definition is simply wrong) Insulin transports nutrients (mainly glucose) across cell membranes.

Insulin resistance With insulin resistance, less glucose is absorbed from the blood, resulting in higher insulin secretion. (this is not a confirmed mechanism but rather a popular "as if" explanation) Insulinoma Hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinism can be a feature of insulinoma, a (usually benign) tumor that secretes insulin. (and many other things)

Removed section about insulin overdosage

I removed the following section from the article:

==Hyperinsulinism due to insulin injection==
The treatment of diabetes mellitus with insulin replacement therapy can easily result in diabetic hypoglycemia due to the difficulty of balancing insulin delivery.

Transient hyperinsulinism can also occur when insulin is injected by non-diabetic athletes attempting to enhance their anaerobic performance.

I removed it because insulin overdosage (or eating too little after taking insulin) does not constitute hyperinsulinism! It is just plain overdosage.

Reverted link removal

User:Alteripse removed the "See also"-section along with its links. The Edit Summary given was: «(→See also: removed unrelated conditions)».
I disagree, and have now moved them back into the article, because Harris' article from 1924 shows that those two topics, on the contrary, are closely related to hyperinsulinism!
