[QUOTE="erin40, post: 2336031, member: 533887"] Hi EllieM and Ronancastled, thanks so much for your replies. This is really helpful. Had not heard of type 3c diabetes and it is something that rings some bells with what my symptoms are, so I am going to ask my doctor to check about it. Also did not know about 'physiological insulin response,' though I figured my one high carb meal probably would not be giving normal non-diabetic pancreas numbers. The advice about going high carb for a few days prior to an insulin challenge makes sense. I know the OGTT is not supposed to be harmful, and maybe in most cases it isn't, but I found that my ability to tolerate sugar sharply dropped - and did not return - after a single episode of very sugary eating last year, so I don't want to risk repeating this. I might try to do a 'lite' home GTT though and see what happens, haha... Thanks again guys, :)All the best... [/QUOTE]
