Impaired glucose tolerance, just diagnosed, need to check something

[douglas99]

I just wanted to pipe up to say that impaired glucose tolerance can show up as low BG. As well as high.
This can be reactive hypoglycaemia, or a lot more subtle.
- there is often a phase, long before it develops into prediabetes, or diabetes, where low BG several hours after eating is the only sign there is impaired glucose tolerance.

Learned that from my new and latest favourite D book, the Diabetes Miracle by Diane Kress.

(She uses this early sign to diagnose potential problems, and prevent a worsening of the problem by using diet)

Lots of things affect glucose tolerance though.
LCHF will show a higher reading on a GTT than a high carb diet for the week before.
Totto has been on LCveryHF for a long time, so it would be reasonable to expect a GTT to be high.
I find I'm far more glucose tolerant after I've had a few higher glucose meals, and my fasting levels decrease from 5's to 4's.
Somewhere in the mix is the right answer, it's just very hard to find.
