Do you test at home yet? I'd ask for another test, maybe HbA1C. If you do another GTT, insist on an insulin test for the 3 points as well. It'll give a clearer picture to know if there is a lot of insulin floating around or not. I'd say there is if you landed at 3.9 by the 3 hour mark. 14.2 is a bit high though, isn't it. I'd consider sticking to low carb till you get more answers.
Hba1c is fine. Low carb makes me feel miserable, I don't want to do it anymore. Plus, my urologist said low carb caused the kidney stones. I don't want more of them. I honestly cannot believe what I am reading in previous endocrinologist writings ... first, he claims I had insulin resistance due to low carbing but my c-peptide was down low (below normal range)...then he clearly misspells hyperglycemia with hypoglycemia lol. Then he saw me spiking to around 10 mmol/l while in hospital eating the food and said "it is normal". I am getting myself to endocrinologist today, see what an independent mind can tell me.
My current doctor thinks that there are two possibilities: I need more time to come out of ketogenic mode and start producing insulin or pancreas is kaput for some reason (not autoimmune, no pancreatitis or trauma), it just refuses to produce enough insulin, and that's that.
