[QUOTE="Katerinax, post: 2453068, member: 546602"] Hi guys I have done my OGTT, I haven't recieved my results yet, I have an appointment in a couple of weeks. About 2.5 hr in I started feeling slightly bad, I told the nurse I didn't feel I was actually too low, she checked on her reader and I was at 4.4, I checked mine at the same time and it was also 4.4, so nice to know mine is somewhat accurate, however I don't know what the lab results are yet. At about the 3h mark I started feeling worse, walls were breathing, headache, fast heart rate, sweating etc. I checked on my reader at that point and it said 2.8. I called the nurse in, she took about a few mins to come in, by then hers showed 3.3 and sent for lab tests. After that it stayed between around 3-3.7 for another hour or so (on my reader) I felt horrible the whole time. She mentioned pancreas scans and 72 hour fast etc but we will have to wait to see what the doctor thinks of the results, I doubt it is a tumor as my fasting aren't low. I do have a question [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] if you don't mind. So since my OGTT I have been stricter with my diet, I only drink water or sugar free drinks and less carbs. Ive lost 2kg from when I was weighed in the hospital so now i weigh 56kg. I thought in the past week my sugars looked higher on my libre data so I started checking my fastings via finger prick. 5.7 6.7 5.8 5.6 These are the last 4 mornings, with 8 or more hours fasting. Are these numbers typical of reactive hypoglycemia? They are consistently higher than previous fasting numbers. But I've been trying to do better with my diet regarding sugar and carbs so I don't understand why they would be going up when I am eating healthy and a healthy weight. [/QUOTE]
