I saw a neurologist because of an ongoing, and sporadic vertigo issue
I've had for years. After my recent weight loss, I thought it was BP
related, but my BP is under control. After my exam he proposed that I test
for possible latent diabetes. He says there was a study that showed an
insulin spike somehow affects the inner ear. Sugar level would still show
normal or low, so a 2 hour after eating bllod test was done. I'll ket you
know the results if anyone cares. Sounds way out there, but interesting.

You need a 45 - 60 minute test after your first bite to catch the peak.

Good info here: phlaunt.com/diabetes

Test confirms that I am insulin resistant, which is latent or pre
diabetes. Treatment is losing more weight, cutting down carbs, and spacing
out frequent small meals over time. Irony is that I've been a low carber for
10 years. If I wasn't, he assures me that I would have full blown diabetes
by now. The high insulin level causes the occasional vertigo, somehow
reacting with the inner ear. It took a brilliant Neurologist to figure this
out.
