240 minutes - 3. 7 (67)
3oo minutes - 3.6 (65)
360 minutes - 3.7 (67)
420 minutes - 3.6 (65)
480 minutes - 3.9 (70)

In depth GTT- (Insulin ref 3-17) (c peptide ref 260-630) (cortisol ref 160-660)
0 minutes - Glucose 4.3. (77) – Insulin 2.2 – C peptide 323 – Cortisol 185
30 minutes – Glucose 5.4 (97) – insulin 14.9
60 minutes – Glucose 10 (180) – Insulin 37.2 – C peptide 2088- Cortisol 197
90 minutes – Glucose 8.9 (160)- Insulin 30.8
120 minutes – Glucose 7.3 (131) – Insulin 30.6 – C peptide 2109 – Cortisol 213
150 minutes – Glucose 7.2 (130) = no insulin taken
180 minutes – Glucose 5.5 (99) – Insulin 24.2 – C peptide 2177 – Cortisol 173

Another Glucocse tolerance test
0 minutes – Glucose 4.1 (74) Insulin 21 pmol
60 minutes-Glucose 12.9 (232) Insulin 292 pmol
120 minutes- Glucose 10.8 (194) Insulin 449 pmol

Glucose Tollerance test after a day and night of fasting
0 minutes- glucose 4.3
30 minutes – glucose 8.9 (160.2) insulin 13.6 mu/l
60 minutes – glucose 12.1 (217.8) insulin 19,2 mu/l
90 minutes – glucose 13.3 (239.4) mu/l
120 minutes glucose 14.1 (253.8)insulin 29 mu/l
150 minutes glucose 11.4 (205.2) insulin 38.1 mu/l
180 minutes none taken
210minutes none taken
240 minutes non taken
270 minutes glucose 2.9 (52.2)insulin 1.9 mu/l
 
Bearing in mind that I am not qualified to comment, I would suggest you have a good look at this website http://www.bloodsugar101.com
It shows what is normal blood glucose and how, and why, it goes wrong
There is masses of info there

To my very limited knowledge / viewpoint, the results in Test 1 show a fasting BG in the normal range (I envy them), and on the lower side of normal too. Suggesting that the body produces enough 'background insulin' to keep nicely in the healthy range.

Tests 2 & 3 seem to show results that are slowly transitioning into diabetes (assuming they are all from the same person?

On the other hand, Test 4 shows a delayed response to drinking the glucose. The BG drops too low at 270 mins, (into the hypo range, I think). Probably the body over-reacting to the high.
Since they are over 11 at 2 hours, the results count as diabetic.

I may not have much medical knowledge, or experience at interpreting OGTT tests, but I have a lifetime of learning how to avoid that low you got at 270 mins! And for me, the answer is to avoid eating anything that takes me high (sugar, bread, rice, pasta, potato, crackers...) because the inevitable result is that afterwards I will drop down too far. It is like a bouncing ball - go too high, and it WILL go too low. Far better to avoid both the high AND the low by eating a diet that keeps BG steady.

Hope that helps.

Are the results all from the same person?
And over what time period were they taken?
And what happens to the fasting BG over this time period?

And please, people, if I've given out any wrong info, forgive my ignorance, and set me right...?

Do you normally have a low carb diet? If so, the results oh glucose test will look even more diabetic simply because the body isn't used to such a high dose of glucose x

What kind of amount of carbs should you eat leading up to a GTT Deb?
 
Deja vu???

Click to expand...

They say eat normally for at least three days before (I read this WHILE at the hospital in my book!!) so around 150-200g a day x
