[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1423718, member: 85785"] Hi, yes, but most of the tests are to eliminate other conditions, such as insulinoma, pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer. First is a eOGTT, which is an extended glucose tolerance test, this is to determine whether you hypo and to take necessary blood tests such as c-peptide and GAD. Other bloods are sent to labs, for anything else that needs to be looked at. There is also a breakfast test, it's a glucose test but using bread and butter, jam. Then there there is a 72 hours fasting test. This is to determine if you have other conditions and to diagnose RH if you stay at normal levels through out the test. You may also get allergy tests or wheat tolerance, I have had those and of course dairy and lactose intolerance tests. I've not heard of a potato or starch tolerance test! All these are conducted in hospital under supervision. [/QUOTE]
