Diagnosed hkpp. paralyzed at 2.4 noted low 3s also after high carb. but also have hypoglycemia 50-69 when insulin is 11-22. could i be mis diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The interaction: between insulin, carbohydrate intake and serum Potassium is COMPLEX and Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis a RARE condition. It is ALWAYS worthwhile to have a "second opinion" about a diagnosis like this!! Ask you Primary Care Provider for a referral to a Board Certified Endocrinologist with SUBSPECIALTY in METABOLIC DISEASE! Hope this helps! Be Well Dr Z
