Sorry I’m really confused
I did fast as requested for 12 hours however in the past 4 months I’ve eaten very little in general due to constant nausea and having zero appetite. I probably manage around 500-600 calories a day.
Is that likely to mean the results I have could be false or does the...
Hi, Sorry because I’m really new to all this can you ask does this mean that me not eating will have influenced the test or not? Is it different with the 4hr gtt? X
Hi, thank you, I read this as well and did try but I’ve suffered for constant nausea for 4 months so really struggled. I’m hoping this is the reason for the strange results. Would it have made that much difference though?
At the minute my appointment is in April so I’ll be on the phone next...

Thank you replying.
I totally understand that no one is medically trained and can only offer options.
The gtt was ordered by my endocrinologist and was only done on Wednesday so I’m not expecting to here from him before the new year to be honest. I’ve dropped of the results with the gp this...
Hi,
Could I please ask a bit of advice.
A bit of background I have autoimmune hypothyroidism which is optimally treated however in August I became very suddenly ill and am still off work now. Along with all the millions of recent tests I’ve had done I had a 4hour OGTT, this was done purely...
