According to my endo and he has had a paper published on the effects of sitagliptin during an extended oral glucose tolerance test. That a hypo is to be below 3.5 mmols. And should be actioned upon. But not treated as a T1 of T2 should treat it as too much glucose derived from the action would produce a rebound effect of the same cause of hyper, overshoot, hypo.
My first eOGTT, was for up to four hours, but I ended up being released at 8pm, which was around eleven hours from drinking the 75g of glucose solution.
I have myself been below 3mmols and seen many 'LO's on my glucometer.
You have to remember that the reaction to high glucose is natural, but the overshoot doesn't turn off, and the livers attempt to use glucogenisis to prevent the hypo is swamped by the overshoot 's excess insulin.
Could you ask how it showed in the pathology other than what I have described already?
I will add, that the symptoms list you have put is quite short. I'm certain there are others you don't associate.
Suddenly falling asleep when resting is one that I was told I did quite often before I had control, that I wasn't aware of. The full list plus others that are not listed are in the sticky at the top of the forum thread page.
Loss of memory, and others I have forgot.
The eye blurring and the headaches behind the eyes is my first idea that I'm not in control.
Keep asking.
Best wishes.

I have no idea myself, maybe it could be the severity of the overshoot to push the hypo further down.Thank you very much , Lamont !
Right. “Around 7 - 8 mmol create the trigger for the overshoot of insulin “ is interesting.
“If you stop the spike you stop the hypo” is absolutely true.
So better “under 7”.
When I looked at UK and US site regarding RH, their number for hypo is below 4mmol/L and 70mg/dL. Almost the same number.
When I had 4 hours glucose tolerance test , my number was 3.2mmol/L. But I was diagnosed from pathology, I do NOT have RH because it is not lower than 3mmo/L !
I don’t know why Australia’s number for hypo is under 3mmol/L…
I had a severe headache , sweating, body shaking and could not think about anything other than eating sugar to raise my blood sugar at that time.
I was so scared that I may be fainted…
I think UK and US are correct …
