Thank you @Lamont D I will do. I had an insulinoma ruled out with the 72hr fast in 2016 as didn't dip quite low enough for it to be a diagnosed/meet all the other criteria with my bloods. Things have obviously changed since then though and i'm now seeing a different specialist so I will wait...

Thank you again for taking the time to get back to me and with such helpful advice. I have now managed to get hold of the hospital results from my first eOGTT in 2016 and interestingly they were very different to the recent ones. Back then I went up to 9.4 mmol/L at 45mins and down to 2.7...

Thanks @Lamont D for your reply, that's all really interesting and good advice. I will look through the rest of the forum too for dietary advice for a good balance. I would say my diet is pretty low carb one already, having had gestational diabetes previously i'm extra cautious since being...

@DCUKMod thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I was symptomatic with the lows... overwhelming fatigue, finding it hard to concentrate/restless, brain fog, sweats, cold hands, headache and shakiness. Not all at once but throughout the testing!

Thanks @Brunneria that's really helpful and @Bluetit1802 too. The tests were done at the hospital and yes thankfully they tested insulin at the same time this time so hopefully that will provide useful information. I'm hoping once the consultant has managed to see the results that I will get...

Thanks for your reply and so quickly... I had thought that the result hadn't gone up by much too but feel I don't know much about RH so wasn't sure. It's just really confusing what may be going on!!

I have previously been diagnosed with RH a few years ago after a 5hr OGTT and a 72hr fasting test to rule out an insulinoma but I still have been symptomatic despite dietary (low sugar, low GI and exercise) changes and have had low blood sugar readings/hypos recorded first thing in the morning...

Many thanks for this advice, I’ll try it out!

@Lamont D @lindisfel @Brunneria thank you so much to you all for your helpful advice. As the endocrinologist who diagnosed RH said more or less go away and manage it with diet etc that's what i've tried to do... They offered no monitoring facility apart from having an annual blood test to...

Many thanks for getting back to me so quickly! It’s more that we were trying to raise my HbA1c a bit as at that level (for me) it was/is a result of a lot of hypos of which I am quite symptomatic it seems. I think they must mainly happen at night as I tend to feel them more either in the night...

I was diagnosed with RH about 18 months ago after some investigation after being very symptomatic of hypos (I'd previously had gestational diabetes) and at the time had an HbA1c of 24 mmol/mol. I had a 5hr GTT and had hypo symptoms at about 4hrs and when tested about 20 mins later the reading...
