[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1926412, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=495627]@sas129[/USER] and welcome to the forum. Without a true series of tests, it could be any condition that is linked to endocrinology. It could be Hypoglycaemia, and as [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] has said that a two hours glucose tolerance test is not long enough to get the knowledge to see what happens after food. You seem to have as the doctor has interpreted a decreased insulin response, wether the resultant quicker than normal spike would lead to a hypo, because of a secondary insulin response, you would only find out from having a extended OGTT. Your symptoms are similar to a sugar crash, as you say after carbs, but again, this could be because of the levels of fluctuations in your blood glucose levels are continually up and down. I would assume you have normal fasting blood glucose levels. So this is a reasonable assumption. As always with something as similar to Hypoglycaemia and with the symptoms you are getting, I would start a food diary and discover which food is causing the crashes. Get a glucometer and track your blood glucose levels after eating. There is a possibility that you have a food intolerance such as gluten or like me a dairy (lactose) intolerance. These sort of allergies/intolerance have a similar effect with the symptoms you describe. Only tests recommended and done under supervision can get you a true diagnosis from an endocrinologist who has experienced with the rarer types of endocrine conditions. If you ask your GP, to refer you to a specialist who has the experience. We are only guessing, but don't give up the battle, it took me a long time in getting my diagnosis, meanwhile, a food diary, a lower carb diet well balanced with good healthy saturated fat. Will help you have a certain amount of control. Let us know how you get on. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
