Hello all
I am new to this forum
a bit of background info
i am currently 19 year old male and underweight
my last HB1AC was 45mmol/mol in march 2016
i was told by a practice nurse to reduce the amount of sugary foods
a few days later i had a hypo and fainted
i was then referred to an endocrinologist and had a prolonged OGTT it was 5 hours, prior fasting overnight
my results are as shown
at start 0 hours 4.1mmol/l
took a glucose drink
30 mins 5.9mmol/l
60 mins 7.5mmol/l
90 mins 6.7mmol/l
120 mins 4.4mmol/l
150 mins 3mmol/l
180 mins 1.6mmol/l at this point i felt so drowsy and thought i was going to faint as i felt lightheaded
210 mins 2.4mmol/l
240 mins 3.3mmol/l
270 mins 3.0 mmol/l
300 mins 3.3mmol
i am going to see the endocrinologist in two weeks time to find out more info and weather i should start monitoring my blood sugar levels and the times i have hypo are rare
had one in October and three last month even after i ate breakfast of porridge
i am also waiting to be referred to a dietition to see if going low gi will help reduce the chances of it occurring.
i might just have an overactive thyroid
wow i can write alot
