Default GTT & Hyperreflexia - two questions!



Can anyone tell me if they have come across the term hyperreflexia in connection with their PN? If so, what were the positive/negative associations of hyperreflexia for you?

Also I wanted to ask about the merits of the various GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) lengths! I have been able to slot an extra appointment in with my Endocrinologist this coming Tuesday & I want to run this whole PN thing past him (ie. the events of the past two - three months) and see if he has any suggestions, either in connection to my other medical condition or otherwise.

If he suggests a GTT, is there one that is better to 'steer' him towards (if indeed a specialist can be steered) such as the two, three, four or five hour GTT? Also is there any merit in having fasting insulin levels done concurrently?

Any other suggestions to help towards a positive outcome for this appointment would be appreciated, as I want this done properly so I can completely lay prediabetes to rest and move on to .... probable idiot-opathy - oops idiopathy!
