[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2132603, member: 85785"] My specialist endocrinologist, who is also a professor of endocrinology at a big university, has quoted to me a few times, that a hypo is below 3.5mmols. Of course, we get symptoms of a hypo at various blood sugar levels. I don't get full blown symptoms until under 3 (ish) mmols but I get the vision blurring and headache under 4(ish). But that was years ago now! I had a really bad experience in hospital during my first eOGTT, when I didn't know what was happening to me after the test was stopped, nor did the doctor, sister or nurse that was there to look after me, it took a phone call to my specialist to tell them to stop pushing carbs on me. I really can't believe that someone who suffers from hypo symptoms and are under normal levels are not in a hypo episode! (Unbelievable!) I went home after twelve hours in a state, going hyper then hypo because of the rebound effect of trying to stop the hypos! That didn't happen again when I went hypo, I learnt a lot from my successive eOGTTs and fasting test, and I was in total control when I had my mixed meal test. [/QUOTE]
