I've had hypoglycemia for years, and it steadily got worse.
Finally a Dr ordered a Glucose Tolerance Test and here are the results
FBS: 101
Drank 50grams sugar
1/2 hour later: 196
1 hour later: 221
2 hours later: 103
3 hours later: 65
10 min. after this last reading, I was so shaky, I had to eat and go home.
So I missed the 4 hr test.
Dr. says the 196 and 221 are too high, but the 65 doesn't indicate hypoglycemia.
I told her all my hypoglycemia symptoms and how it is fixed with orange juice and peanut butter, and bread and then 2 hrs lying down.
She then wrote a precription for 250mg Metformin once a day.
It has made a big improvement as far as I am not starving 2 hrs after eating, and I do not crave carbs any more. I am hoping it will now be easier to lose 30 lbs.
I'd like opinions please,
