[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 143077, member: 18023"] Surely you aren't saying that a blood glucose level of 78 are anywhere near hypoglycemic levels? 78 BG is a fairly common and normal reading. I used to think I would show up as pre-diabetic on an oral glucose tolerance test, but now when I look at all the data I have on my BG, I think the OGTT would indicate no problem. Because my BG never goes above 200 and it always falls in 2 hours below 140. I looked at how the test is interpreted: (I do notice there are multiple different OGTT tests.) [LIST] [*][B]Normal response:[/B] A person is said to have a normal response when the two hour glucose level is less than 140 mg/dl, and all values between 0 and 2 hours are less than 200 mg/dl. [*][B]Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT):[/B] A person is said to have impaired glucose tolerance when the fasting plasma glucose is less than 126 mg/dl and the two hour glucose level is between 140 and 199 mg/dl. This is sometimes referred to as "prediabetes" because people with IGT have a higher risk of developing diabetes. [/LIST] [URL='https://www.medicinenet.com/glucose_tolerance_test/article.htm#what_is_the_glucose_tolerance_test']Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Preparation & Results[/URL] I think I do have a problem but it isn't exactly prediabetes or diabetes. I think it could lead to becoming diabetic because I don't think I should get that high a spike up, even if it isn't high enough to be classified as [B]Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).[/B] But sometime in the next 3 months I will take the Glucose Tolerance Test with Insulin (8 specimens) to see what happens.
