Your test does not show elevated sugars YET, but your insulin levels may be high already....and this is what you need to know. Interpretation of GTT can be pretty fuzzy...or outdated.

Many people show reactive hypoglycemia as a prelude to real diabetes.
I appreciate your continued dialog on this.

I was not checked for insulin levels, only glucose levels.

If I was hypoglycemic, to some degree, what would the treatment be to prevent it from turning into full diabetes? Would it basically be a lifestyle change -- exercise, avoid high carb foods, etc?

Unfortunately, my test was only 2 hour (and ended at 83) so it doesn't show if there could have been a possible upward swing a bit later. It's probably going to be hard to convince my doctors and my insurance company to repeat the test for 5 hours.
