[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1131690, member: 220230"] Hi, just one thought I have is that you didn't actually hypo during your GTT? When I had mine, I had a very fast spike (up to 13.5 the first time) and then hypo'd as a result (in my case I dropped to 2.7 around the 3 hour mark). I can't comment on the c-peptide as mine was never checked. I know it's linked with insulin but don't know what is normal or high. My symptoms started quite suddenly too, if that's of any comfort. March last year I started getting symptoms after eating carbs, which corresponded with high blood sugars. My GP did a hba1c test which came back normal. He referred me to an Endo who did a standard GTT which put me in the diabetic range after two hours. I also hypo'd in the car on the way home from hospital. He then repeated the test several weeks later after a period of increased carb intake. The second test put me in the pre-diabetic range after 2 hours but I hypo'd after 3 hours confirming RH. I only started to get RH symptoms after I was wrongly diagnosed with diabetes though around August last year. It's been a sharp learning curve. I'm making progress but I don't think we will ever completely eliminate the symptoms. [/QUOTE]
