[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1859116, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=475380]@Diver Lou[/USER], Have you ever been ordered an[I] extended oral glucose tolerance test[/I]? The GP can order it, you go along fasting at opening time of the blood testing centre, have blood test, then drink of glucose and testing usually done hourly for at least 3, preferably 4 hours duration at least. That way diabetes and possibly RH can be tested for. Sometimes the test is done with your usual breakfast instead of the glucose. Perhaps discuss it with your GP. The other thing to note is that with the glucose meters (and use of finger prick blood) the error range of the reading can be +/- 15%. So a reading of say, 3.9 mmol/l, can reflect a range of 3.32 to 4.48 mmol/l. Hypoglycaemia is usually defined as less than 3.6 mmol/l (but definitions vary by 0.1, 0.2). [/QUOTE]
