Symptoms
There are often no visible symptoms of hyperinsulinemia unless hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) is present.
Some patients may experience a variety of symptoms when hypoglycaemia is present, including:
- Temporary muscle weakness
- Brain fog
- Fatigue
- Temporary thought disorder, or inability to concentrate
- Visual problems such as blurred vision or double vision
- Headaches
- Shaking/Trembling
- Thirst
If a person experiences any of these symptoms, a visit to a qualified medical practitioner is advised. Internet information does not substitute for advice by a medical professional, and diagnostic blood testing may be required.

Famous quotes containing the word symptoms:
“Protest, evasion, merry distrust, and a delight in mockery are symptoms of health: everything unconditional belongs in pathology.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Not being a K.N. [Know-Nothing] I am left as a sort of waif on the political sea with symptoms of a mild sort towards Black Republicanism.”

“A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
