[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2369129, member: 85785"] Hi again, Usually a two hours OGTT is not long enough for diagnosis, the fasting insulin as I described in my last post, is typically low, and will be tempered by low carb. As I said, only testing before and after meals will give you an idea what is happening. Did your endo say that you went hypo before two hours and stopped because of the hypo? If so, your secondary insulin overshoot will be triggered earlier than mine. The go to advice from doctors and dieticians is to eat every three hours, and eat carbs. This is to prevent hypos. But if you are going hypo before three hours, then you will still have the symptoms and probably eating too much. This does not work in my experience. Only very low carb and keeping your blood sugar levels in normal levels will stop the symptoms and hypos. If you are low carb, I don't understand why you are going hypo overnight, maybe something you are drinking? If you're in control all daytime, then what is triggering the hypos overnight? Are you going hypo before breakfast? Because if you are going hypo, then it isn't RH. There are other conditions, but you need to get tests done. Can you fast without going hypo? I have had a fasting test in hospital that lasted 80 hours and my blood levels are never came out of normal. I now use intermittent fasting and only two meals a day, when I want to eat. But always stop eating before 7pm, to make sure I am not going hypo before bed. What are your symptoms, any other tests? Keep asking we will get there. Keep safe [/QUOTE]
