[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2118489, member: 501623"] Can I ask a question about this? I recently had a GTT (postpartum follow up after having gestational diabetes) and my results were: Fasting - 4.4 mmol 1h - 12.1 mmol 2h - 6.5 mmol On my own metre, which I used before, during and after that same GTT I got: Fasting 5.0 mmol (on waking a couple of hours earlier) 1h - 13.8 2h - 8.5 and 7.5 a minute on either side of the lab's blood draw. 3h - 3.4 (at home) with some dizziness / mild shaky feeling The doctor said I don't have diabetes but the note on the lab report said "may have glucose intolerance - test again in one year" The doctor also didn't know about the 3.4 I got 3 hours after the GTT. At the moment I am breastfeeding a 3 month old but usually in the morning if I skip breakfast my fastings of high 4s when eating low carb tend to rise into the 5s. Today I ended up in the 3s (3.4) after being up and hour and a half, from 4.4 on rising. I expected to see 5s. Could be the breastfeeding taking me down. Anyway, my question! With the 72 hour fast, what does it mean if you go into low 3s VS if you stay higher? Is one a diagnosis of diabetes VS reactive hypoglycaemia? And is low carb the solution for both anyway? [/QUOTE]
