[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2118700, member: 85785"] As [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] has said there are many conditions that are called metabolic syndrome and that is what you may have. What I get, when I read from your glucose tolerance test is the 13mmols from the hour recording. This could be 'gastric dumping'! This also happens in quite a lot of metabolic conditions because the initial insulin response is weak because of insulin resistance mainly. There are of course different reasons why you can get that reading, for example, low insulin response levels as in types of T2 and other conditions. There is no true test for the condition of RH! It is a series of tests to eliminate other conditions such as insulinoma. Any metabolic imbalance especially from hormone response will of course give different results. The symptoms and results from tests could also give symptoms of hypoglycaemia but not the condition of RH. Confusing, isn't it! Glucose intolerance is another way of saying carbs intolerant, wheat intolerant, lactose intolerant and so on, if the result is your blood glucose levels go too high, or you get that rebound effect, and symptoms from the sudden rise, sudden drops in blood glucose levels, you will have and get the symptoms of a typical metabolic/diabetic patients, which includes the types of Hypoglycaemic conditions. I have never as a RH patient, had a hypo fasting or not eating, RH is a condition that is a reaction to food. I believe that the way you describe your fasting levels, I would not be overly concerned about having one or two mmols difference within normal levels range. Having a high three or a low six is in normal range, and I would advise to continue the tests as diagnosis is important to your future health and how you treat your condition whatever it is. If you have a condition such as RH, you would not want to be treated for a hypo as a T2 or T1! Especially if it something more serious! Which would be exposed during the 72 hour fasting test! If for example, insulinoma, pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, the hypo is not food orientated. From this fasting test, more tests are done to find the cause, which would include scans and invasive biopsies. Because of not having a hypo in the 72 hours fasting test, RH is usually diagnosed, but more glucose tolerance tests are done and more blood work. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
