Hi
If your doc still insists you don't have D, go to WalMart or Target, get a cheap meter and house brand strips. Test right before you eat, 1 hour after, then 2 hours after. Keep a log of what you eat, and drink for at least a week, along with your bg #s. If they are out of "normal" range take it all into your doc for proof. The cheap meter and strips are accurate as the "name" brands.

Hi jakatak, with an overnight fasting glucose score like that I would certainly be insisting on a 3- 5 hour glucose tolerance test or as aussiemom mentioned grab a blood glucose monitor and test your self.... just for a quick test I would try, eat a very high carb meal, top it off with something like jelly beans, icecream and wash it down with some soft drink and then test 1 hour after, 2 hours after, and also wait to see in [approx 1 hours time] if the pn symptoms flare up or not, this is exactly what would happen to me if i had something sweet.

good luck mate
