[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2274334, member: 85785"] In my case, during my last eOGTT, I only spiked just over 8mmols, which was unbelievable and not possible a before diagnosis, I still went hypo though. RH used to be named idiopathic postprandial Hypoglycaemia because the research couldn't find out why even with a small spike we still went hypo! Again, I believe that once you have any spike over your current normal levels, the trigger starts the insulin, usually a normal second response would stop when enough insulin is sufficient for the glucose derived. But because the initial insulin response is poor, the secondary insulin response doesn't stop because it had to when in my case insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia and high glucose levels were a norm due to eating carbs regularly enough to keep my blood glucose levels fluctuating all day! There is a good explanation on Wikipedia, but this is generalised! But the science is there! Stay safe [/QUOTE]
