[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2053653, member: 85785"] A Hba1c is a test that is part of a full blood panel test. This is usually the first part of diagnosis, to see your overall blood sugar levels for the past three months, if it is consistently over the diabetic levels, that is the doctors go to test for type two diabetes. But it can be used for proof of normal blood glucose levels. An eOGTT is an extended oral glucose tolerance test. This is used to diagnose Hypoglycaemia, also, other conditions related to insulin resistance, insulin response and pancreatic conditions. It is a diagnostic tool to record spikes and lows. In my case, the test recorded, my double spike, my quick spikes and then my drop into Hypoglycaemia. This is different from a two hour oral glucose tolerance test. You will get a more scientific knowledge from Google and the home pages of this forum. Take your food diary and explain to your GP and tell him you are experiencing hypoglycaemic episodes, symptoms and feeling dreadful after certain foods. Your GP should recommend tests, but still ask for a referral to an experienced endocrinologist. Hope it goes well for you. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
