Hi!
Yes at the end of the 3 hrs my insulin level number was 5. (sorry I said blood sugar number in my other post) I couldn't hardly stand and couldn't sign my name on the dr. report! It was awful! I thought I was going to pass out! I'd brought some food with me so sat there and ate it and after a while I was much better. The PA that we talked to on Wed. said that my number was that low because of my gastric bypass and that foods go straight thru me because of the small stomach and intestines.
The Peptide that was tested was C if I'm reading this right.
Tomorrow I'll have to call the PA and see if she's talked to the dr. about me being on medication for the level or not. She mentioned 2 meds but I can only remember Glucaphag (sp?).
The PA did say I'll have to keep an eye on the ALT number incase it begins to rise.
For the scan test I have to have on Wed. she said I have to swallow a pill and then go back there again on Friday for a 1 1/2 hr scan.......can anyone tell me more about that test?
Thanks every body! Y'all are great!
