[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1982981, member: 85785"] Yes, a five hours test will give you a Hypoglycaemia diagnosis. But it is not a complete diagnostic in detail. In my experience a 72 hours fasting test, will only give the true diagnosis of which type of RH you may have. This test, will give your endocrinologist, the proof that it definitely is RH or another pancreatic condition. The tests are only ruling out other conditions until it cannot be anything else but RH! I don't mean to put down your endocrinologist, but not doing the fasting test could be because he is unaware of hypoglycaemia, RH and its many types! I'm really glad you have got really good control and not suffering as many hypos. My endocrinologist was really hoping I could go back to having oats as a healthy option for breakfast, unfortunately, oats are only another spike waiting to happen for me. But because before diagnosis oats was my saviour, you see my GP, then my endocrinologist (twice) noticed that I was having a hypo during appointments and convinced them something other than my misdiagnosed T2 was happening to me! Also my endocrinologist advised me to try a list of so called healthy foods that are not well known, but contains low amounts of carbs and contain high fibre and good nutrition, such as pumpernickle bread, but alas, after showing him the results from my food diary, he too had to admit, that for me, I'm carb intolerant.
