Message: <blockquote data-quote="katejay1991" data-source="post: 2571077" data-attributes="member: 565758">I've had a OGTT and can see from the results I have reactive hypoglycemia (drop to 2.4 mmol/L after 30 mins of eating). I'm not seeing the doctor to discuss the results for another month, but can see on the results portal that my insulin levels also seem low, based on this reference I found online:<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td> Insulin Level</td><td>Insulin Level (SI Units*)</td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Fasting</td><td>< 25 mIU/L</td><td>< 174 pmol/L</td></tr><tr><td>30 minutes after glucose administration</td><td>30-230 mIU/L</td><td>208-1597 pmol/L</td></tr><tr><td>1 hour after glucose administration</td><td>18-276 mIU/L</td><td>125-1917 pmol/L</td></tr><tr><td>2 hour after glucose administration</td><td>16-166 mIU/L</td><td>111-1153 pmol/L</td></tr><tr><td>≥3 hours after glucose administration</td><td>< 25 mIU/L</td><td>< 174 pmol/L</td></tr></table>Mine are 22.9 - 30 mins after glucose, 17.1 - 1 hr after glucose, 6.7 - 2 hrs after glucose.Does anyone know if this could be the reason for the RH? I read that too low insulin means enough glucose can't get into the cells but then I thought that would cause more glucose in the blood and therefore too high blood sugar rather than too low?I know I could wait 4 weeks for my appointment, but I've been struggling with this for over a year and I just want some answers to feel more settled. So any feedback appreciated (those obviously will also get feedback from the docs!)</blockquote>
