[QUOTE="SarahTee, post: 2194750, member: 518070"] I had a basic oral glucose tolerance test – not with cannula fitted. I think it went for about 2 hours, with one blood sample taken before the glucose drink and two afterwards. So not the extended one. Showed normal readings according to GP. I felt a bit unwell after drinking the glucose drink but it did not bring on the postprandial symptoms I normally have. Mind you, my postprandial symptoms are usually 2 to 3 hours after eating. I have to wait 6 weeks until my next endocrinologist appt. When I questioned him about further testing in the meantime, for possible RH because my symptoms worsen after b'fast and lunch, he said that RH is difficult to diagnose by testing. He did recommend a dietitian so I will try to get an appointment with her. I used to see another endocrinologist about 10 years ago for an unrelated problem. I am going to get a referral to her from my GP and get a second opinion. I seem to have a mixture of autonomic, adrenergic and postprandial symptoms. I have almost been wishing I was hospitalised so that a team of specialists would be looking at my problems at the same time and talking to each other about what might be going on. Trying to pursue it in dribs and drabs myself is proving extremely time consuming. [/QUOTE]
