[QUOTE="SarahTee, post: 2254201, member: 518070"] I have a further question – what if I just buy a blood sugar monitor and test myself? I have been trying to get my symptoms investigated for a year now, and it seems to be going nowhere. No luck in getting an extended eOGTT from first endocrinologist (who turned out to be not very helpful), now running through everything again with second endo (she is good but we have to do everything again). I have a previously diagnosed endocrine condition that may or may not be implicated, so we are checking that again. It will be some months to get that done (discontinuing meds, having tests, waiting, having tests again) and if there is nothing wrong adrenally she might look at RH then. So normally I would not do anything medical off my own bat, but these days blood glucose monitors aren't too expensive, and I am not going to act on the results without my doctor's advice. Would self testing be useful? I presume if my blood sugar is in the acceptable range at various times, including when my symptoms are worst, that would pretty much rule out RH. [/QUOTE]
