[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 994461, member: 85785"] One of the criterias as I understand it, is fasting blood glucose levels. Also as part of a two hour OGTT, you go above a certain level. The fasting bloods in most RH ers is usually in normal range between 4-6mmols. If you have fasting above that then there is a possibility of prediabetes or T2. Some of us can live and be comfortable in the mid 3s. As the two hours glucose test only shows the spike and where your bloods are at two hours, how do they know what happens after that. As you know we go hypo 'late'. So when like me when I was diagnosed with T2 (wrongly) my bloods were shown to be running high. The hba1c test will give you your average over the past few weeks. If you are going hyper then hypo, your average will be high! This is where the confusion starts. Because, doctors aren't trained to recognise the key points of hypoglycaemia. Until you get control of your levels, the diagnostic tools point to T2. It's when you get control, the normal levels then the hypos and terrible symptoms will anyone get a clue that there is something going on. I have said for a long time that there are T2s out there, that are not diabetic and do suffer from one or the other forms of hypoglycaemia. [/QUOTE]
