[QUOTE="Ballofwool, post: 935239, member: 186617"] Hello everyone, I got a discharge letter from the hospital in the post yesterday, but based on what the nurses said, this letter had been written at the time of my discharge. The letter states "results: no indication of insulinoma". I don't understand this! Would they really have had access to the results at the time of writing the discharge letter? Don't these blood test results need a doctor's interpretation? Why did my blood sugar drop to 1.8 at around 30 hours? Why was the consultant considering putting me on medication to raise blood sugar, if there is no indication of an insulinoma? Is this letter totally meaningless? I certainly don't expect you all to have the answers to these questions, but this is what I was left wondering... In other news, the hospital called me and said I need to come in tomorrow morning for a short synacthen test, because my cortisol was too low in my previous two blood tests. What does all this mean? I have no idea! The plot thickens... Would it be appropriate to call the endocrine department at the hospital and ask them if this letter indicates my actual fasting test results? [/QUOTE]
