[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 187314, member: 16042"] Sounds like it could be from other causes, not just glucose metabolism. For example, the symptoms you describe sound a lot like some of what I have been experiencing for the last year from anemia. That said, glucose numbers are one thing, GTT is another, but for an even more comprehensive outlook into glucose metabolism, consider Hba1c and add in insulin. The modified Kraft test is pretty easy to put together. The full on Kraft test is like a 5 hour glucose tolerance test, but includes insulin labs as well. It turns out that with fasting glucose and insulin and 2 hour post prandial, you can get essentially the whole picture. You can DIY, by ordering two glucose and insulin tests, having the first drawn when fasting, then eating a heap of sugar or high gycemic white potatoes or rice, and having the second draw at 2 hours after eating. if insulin remains high at 2 hrs, you have a problem. Look up Ivor Cummins, Nadir Ali, Arthur Agaston for more info.
