Default GTT/Itt test

Hi there,

I have heard of these tests, but my son has yet to do them. Seems like you have been lucky enough to have endro's that want to pursue your health issue. My son has only had fasting glucose test done and they come back within the normal range. That said, he has absence seizures that don't respond to meds. For years I have told the Dr.s that he needs to eat and eat often and it has to be protein/fat based food. The Modified Adkins diet has helped his seizures, but not stop them. His cortisol levels show reversed. high @ night, low in the morning, but the last endro. @ UCSF said it wasn't a problem. This has been off since he was 7 years old, now 17. How did you get them to do a ACTH test, and have you done the GTT/ITT test yet?

Thanks,
Laurie
