Post so

You only had 2 blood draws?

That is not enough to determine a good tolerance reading.

This lab site explains the test you had:
OGTT test

This is an example of a more complete test..which will show hypoglycemia and reactive hypoglycemia.

According to your two results, you are normal. But this does not show insulin resistance or hypoglycemic potential.
(elevated fasting insulin will show the trend to insulin resistance and it is one draw.)
