[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1993282, member: 85785"] I'm going to be brave enough to try and answer your very interesting questions! Here goes! 1. Venous blood in my experience is the norm for tests, although a glucometer is used for the intermittent readings. Yes! 2. I would believe the initial insulin response and high spike will be a clue to either gastric dumping or a possible metabolic syndrome type condition. 3. You've answered the question yourself. Any diagnosis depends on data, the more the better! 4. The extension of such tests, has to be one of eliminating other conditions. Most tests that are designed to eliminate other metabolic conditions. Such as with an eOGTT, if you have an hypoglycaemic episode during this test, that you may have a type of hypoglycaemia. The norm for a type two is not to have a hypoglycaemic episode. During a fasting test, if you have a hypoglycaemic episode during this test, it will not be Hypoglycaemia, it would be a pancreatic condition, as with insulinoma. 5. Any dietary knowledge which will help control of blood glucose levels and hba1c levels has to be individual. There are many reasons, and why a food diary and regular testing is beneficial, it gives an overview of what happens when and what you eat. And more importantly what to avoid, those with insulin resistance and low initial insulin response, will discover what foods that they are intolerant to. Not bad for a layman! Best wishes [/QUOTE]
