Not true hypoglycemia yet, but close. It would be helpful to have
fasting insulin run. When there are reactive lows, that suggests insulin excess. This may precede diabetes by several years, but can imply
impaired glucose utilization. Lows are starving nerves just like highs are.

While doctors look for highs, they ignore lows.
So while you are "normal" for diabetes, your lows, which might be more revealing on a longer test... are indicative of a possible reactive hypo state.
Dear Mrs. D,
I have had Glucose serum test last May and November 2011 and the results were 97 and 87, respectively. I am not sure if this is thesame as the fasting blood sugar. The tests were part of the Metabolic. Panel Test. Again, in June 2011, I had another glucose serum test but this time I did not fast as the blood extraction was done at the doctor's clinic - result was 98.

Are the numbers indicative of a reactive hypoglycemia?

Is hemoglobin a1c a good test to determine if one is a reactive hypoglycemic or is this only to determine the average sugar in the blood for diabetic?

Thank you Mrs D for helping all of us.
