[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2087830, member: 401801"] They're expensive tests to do, so usually they just guess at things instead. The odds are mostly in their favor when it comes to people who are older than you are, and especially if they're overweight. (Not all T2's are, but the bulk of us... Yeah.). So they just make a bunch of assumptions and go from there. It's cheaper than throwing every test in the book at you, especially when they don't actually[I] know[/I] about said tests. I do hope you feel better today. As for breakfast, full fat yoghurt with berries (and maybe nuts like walnuts/pecans/macadamia's or coconutshavings), double cream, that sort of stuff, will get you sorted. As would bacon, eggs, high meat content sausages, cheese... Most days I skip breakfast, but if you're on metformin first thing, you don't want to do that. (Tummy troubles lie that way). That reminds me... If you're feeling horrid, exactly what kind of horrid are we talking about? because that could also be metformin side effects rather than a hypo-aftermath. In any case, good luck with everything! Jo [/QUOTE]
