[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2297229, member: 85785"] Hi, The glucose tolerance test you had in hospital, for how long were they taking readings and how long after the drink of glucose did you get the low reading? The answer to your question about T2s getting hypos is that it is unusual unless there are on blood sugar reducing meds. Or have another condition that causes hypos. Are you on a low carb diet? Or can't you diet because of everything else going on? All your numbers are diabetic, and it all depends on what you ate to get those results afterwards? Your control of blood sugar is all over the place and only reducing those levels can you hope to feel better, and it will take time. When you test ignore the fasting, take the first reading before food, then after two hours like you have been doing and then at three hours after food. If possible do another after about three and a half hours. That will give you a better idea understanding of what is happening. Could your blood sugar levels be unusually high because of your other conditions such that your body is still adapting to life after your hospital stay? Do you know that the meds you are on are not steroids, because they will have an effect? Keep safe [/QUOTE]
