Wonder where he got that from and if anybody else knows about this relationship - insulin resistance/electrolytes ?

Better to know than not. Hope you manage your blood glucose well from now on! Any idea what brought it on?
All the best!

My Blood Glucose has always been fine, it was the Insulin that was way high. I Finally got a Dr. that tested the Insulin and Blood Sugar at the same time. Although my diet is fairly good, I think frequent eating and too many Carbs helped bring it on, but not at all sure. I eat a good meal at night, and I still crave carbs even when my Belly is full.

Thank you for the answer, Anti-Fib! Have the same struggle finding a Dr who will order an insulin test for me here in Australia. Not part of their guidelines it seems unless there is an obvious blood glucose issue.

High Insulin, or Insulin resistance leads to high Blood Sugar, among other things. Here I never asked for it, but then finally a Dr. listened to me about my symptoms, and ordered it. It is an under-diagnosed condition because of only testing Blood Glucose levels, and by the time that is high, the high Insulin levels have done much damage.
