Default Alkymst - THIS IS SUCH

an overlooked point! The 3 hr GTT was THE last test I had....
Tho if you look up some prior posts by Nide44/BobB...you will find that he's an advocate of the 5-7 hour tests...I agree wholly as I'd been thru an 8 hour test eons ago that only showed a hypoglycemic reaction at the last two hours.
Both glycemic and hypoglycemic reactions can and do mimic each other they are soo close as to be mis-diagnosed or overlooked.
For all tho...checking out they whole endocrine system is not a bad idea either... all sorts of things can set the 'wheels' so to speak into motion. Ask anyone who has had Graves or Hashimoto's issues [as I recently learned]. Testing is CHEAP compared to potential long term damages?
These things...all these things can overlap and confuse any base or complex issues and are not all tested at key times to be 'ruled out' at those key times. Hindsight doesn't cut it in my book, once the damage is done.

BTW HOW are you doing? You've been quiet about that of late... Status quo?
Super good thoughts all the time! - j
