Been suffering for some time now with
various metabolic disorder related
symptoms (headaches,blurry vision, night
sweats, etc) and my doctors seem to be
dragging their heels,so I did my own OGTT,
results below.
FBG 105
+30 190
+60 148
+90 110
+120 80
+150 68
BG then rose gently back to fasting levels
over the next 90 mins. I've not managed to
measure real lows as yet - lowest to date
has been around 60 - but I do seem to
suffer from rapid highs followed by fairly
rapid drops after eating. Does this look
like reactive HG, or more symptomatic of
mild diabetes?

Could be an early version of diabetes, you
shot way above normal range at the 30
minute mark there.

It does look like you went pretty high at
the 30 minute mark.... I would agree with
Stan that it could possibly be early
diabetes - especially because your fasting
level was high as well. However, your
levels do go up, and then have a
significant drop so that you feel the same
"crashing" feeling that I do. Our test
results look similar -except that yours
are higher in the beginning indicating a
possibility of diabetes. I have heard
that hypoglycemia can turn into diabetes 2
- I read it in a book called the Do's and
Don'ts of Hypoglycemia, written by Roberta
that started the Hypoglycemia Support
Foundation. I wonder if that could be a
possibility for you? I'm just guessing
though based on my own research! Your
symtoms are identical to mine!

I've heard of a condition, supposed to be
fairly rare, called dyinsulinism, might
want to look into that as well.
