julieph85 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ive often wondered why do diabetics get autonomic neuropathy? Turns out they are lacking c-peptide which inhibits neuropathies. Wonder how that plays in our dysautonomia?http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-peptide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julieph85 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/14709780/This says their is elevated sympathetic nerve activity in rats after administration of insulin only. If they administered c peptide as well this diminished the response. Maybe the dramatic sympathetic response after eating that we get is because our insulin goes up but we don't have c-peptide to reduce it? Just a thought.
