    I think a lot of people think they have ADHD when they really have roller coaster blood sugar or very high A1C.

    And I’ve come to believe this based on lived experience. I now think a small percentage of the uptick we have seen over the last few decades of people believing they have ADHD, or getting diagnosed with it, is due to this.

    People should probally be screened for metabolic issues when they are being assessed. Especially if they are coming to it as an adult.
