Diet for Hypoglycemia

With minor hyperinsulinism and related hypoglycemia, how long does the onset of type 2 diebetes normally occur?

I have very minor hyperinsulinism, with resulting hypoglycemia. I am living an Atkins diet, with occasional use of alcohol, and just a few cups of coffee per day. How long until I hit the point of type 2 diabetes. This is a very important question, because with my career, diabetes would basically end it. Thanks!

1. Only your doctor can tell you that, based on an educated guess from your labwork. Each person if different, depending on how their body is handling the problem. Some do not develop the diabetes for years or even decades, but there are people who develop diabetes in a matter of months.
