Smile This looks much better...

so perhaps he had some freaky lab errors on the other.

I'd get the fasting insulin for sure tho. Is is easy to do and not unlike other
blood draws. It is a one time stick.

Now, we don't know if the 3 hr was a 50 gram or 100 gram load. Unless you
call the lab and ask. So if he had the 100 gram and had the hypoglycemia, then you'd might consider having it done again as a 5 hr GTT. (done with 1/2 hr intervals).

At 1/2 hr his spike is more normal looking than what was reported on the previous
test.
