Hi Andrew.

My thinking was that reactive hypos are down to very high insulin resistance, which means that a lot of insulin is produced before the body detects any lowering of BG.

By the time the BG starts to drop, there's so much insulin circulating that it plummets into hypo territory.

Does that sound anything like reality or am I being too simplistic ?🙂
