Message: <blockquote data-quote="kitedoc" data-source="post: 1822919" data-attributes="member: 468714">Hi [USER=473762]@notorious_bob[/USER],Some people with T2ds or pre-diabetes can go hypo about 3 to 3 1/2 + hours after a biggish meal.The person's own insulin rise in these people lags behind the blood glucose rise, so that this mistiming leads to late surge in insulin. The BSL peaks at 2 hours or so, then dips as the late insulin surge pushes it down to sometimes hypo levels at 3 - 31/2 + hours.If hypo blood sugar level is low enough a release of liver-derived glucose can push the blood sugar up. = Somogyi.So no extraneous insulin required !!If you think about it the above is like a Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT - this is not the abbreviation for a sports car !!), except that in a GTT they usually stop the test at the 2 hour mark.No doubt your endo will be able to help you.</blockquote>
