[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1458770, member: 220230"] Hi all, I hope you're all doing well. I'm doing good on the whole, feeling much better generally, bs under control (as in no hypos!) and I've even managed several days out with plenty of walking in the past few weeks. If anything my numbers seem a little higher these days, but I'm due a Hba1c as soon as I get round to making the appointment, so we'll see what's happening. The reason for the post, is that I guess I have unanswered questions that are niggling me a little. I was lucky enough to find an Endo who was aware of RH (all be it I had to go Private), and he carried out a prolonged OGTT to confirm my diagnosis. Brilliant! You might think. Having read many of your accounts, those of you lucky enough to have been given a formal diagnosis also had other tests to rule out conditions such as insulinomas. My Endo didn't do any further testing, he didn't even check my insulin levels during my prolonged OGTT. Given that my symptoms came on suddenly, I find this hard to accept. So even after all this time, I can't help but wonder if there could be something else going on. I'm no expert and I don't spend lots of time reading up on such matters. My common sense tells me that if I had an insulinoma causing the production of too much insulin, then this would not merely be controlled by diet alone. Right or wrong? I haven't talked this over with my GP yet as he doesn't seem to take it seriously. He did have a chat with my Endo around a year ago now and between them they decided no further investigations were necessary. I don't know why this is troubling me now. I'm not laying awake worrying about it, but it's definitely niggling me as I feel I still have unanswered questions. Getting them answered may prove impossible through the usual channels though!
