[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1639724, member: 85785"] Don't worry too much, you may have to wait for the test results, because, there are only a couple of labs that do that sort of work, I had to wait a month for mine. It is good that your endo is searching for answers instead of guessing like some do! You did have some different numbers to what I experienced, but, there are a few types of hypoglycaemia. We do seem to be unique. The symptoms are very similar but we each have different trigger points or how our insulin effects us, it can confuse some doctors that we are not as simply diagnosed as we should be. But even the most extreme cases of hypoglycaemia should be treated by gaining control of what we eat, it is dietary controlled. There is no magic pill for what we have. That is why a glucose tolerance test is one of the first tests we have, it shows how we react to certain foods, such as starchy vegetables and most carbs which turns into glucose quickly. You have to find out which carbs and sugars are causing the trigger to respond to the insulin response. You have to limit the insulin response, so that you don't trigger the insulin, that way you can alleviate the symptoms and feel better. Let us know how you get on. Keep asking, keep posting, keep in touch. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
