Hi,
I just had a glucose tolerance test done on Wednesday. My nurse told me the results on Thursday. She
said the fasting glucose level was 69 and after drinking the glucose and waiting 2 hours, it was 35.
This looks like hypoglycemia and it looked like a reactive hypoglycemic result at 35.
When I walked out of the clinic with it at 35, I did not feel any symptoms. What does that mean?
Now, after I drank the glucose, I felt naseated and cold for awhile and then those disappeared and I
felt okay again for the last half hour. I think during the last half hour I felt kind of sleepy, but
then it went away before I walked out. She did not have them test during the two hours maybe because
its extremely difficult and painful to find a useful vein on me.
My nurse told me that they were figuring out whether I should see an endocrinologist and a
dietetician. She also told me to avoid waiting longer than two hours to eat and to eat smaller meals
(both of which I have done for a number of years already). She said she'd give me more info when she
got more information.
So what does it mean when its at 35 and I don't feel any obvious symptoms?
