[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1459453, member: 85785"] Hi, Kaz, The three tests used by endocrinologists are glucose, insulin and c-peptide during all eOGTTs. But these tests confirm diagnosis of RH or Hypoglycaemia. Other tests confirm diagnosis of insulinoma, these are the extended fasting tests, that I and other RH ers have had. I believe if your (private) specialist endocrinologist thought that if you had a chance of having insulinoma or pancreatitis or cancer of the pancreas, which is the need for these tests, I'm sure he would have ordered them for you, if only to charge you more, for doing it! Sorry, just the rebel coming out in me! It is always right to question what is going on. It is always right to ask your GP to see what is going on with your lower abdominal pain. So go speak to him. I think your anxiety is helping your niggles just a tad! The key to diagnosis of insulinoma or others, is that you hypo when you fast! If like me, you can go for ever without food without going hypo! If you hypo, it is something other. That's why I say it is more than likely not insulinoma! Best wishes and really good you are having really good control. [/QUOTE]
