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.

“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.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Murderous desire, hatred, distrust are nowadays the accompanying signs of physical illness: so thoroughly have we embodied our moral prejudices.—Perhaps cowardice and pity appear as symptoms of illness in savage ages. Perhaps even virtues might be symptoms.”
