I’m just worried and hopeful to fit my problems. I have been hypoglycemic for many years. Last year I was pre-diabetic at GTT 2 hr 187 mg. I now feel horrible, tired, dry mouth, shaky and only sugar can stop my fainting. I went for a few tests with my GP and the only thing that came back is abnormal lipid, a high triglyceride over HDL ratio, is insulin resistant. I went to an Endo and did a few tests. I did my first GTT and the clinic would only test me at 2:20 hr not 2 hr. I took my glucose monitor and it showed 168 mg. I’m worried the doctor will not fix me because I am not diabetic. The weird thing is in the morning, my glucose is somewhat stable, but later during the day it goes to 250 mg. I am eating healthy, work out and was not overweight, until last month I gained 10 lbs, I don’t know why. I maybe need reassurance that my Endo will take care of my problems. How accurate is the home glucose monitors, I have the Accu-Check Active. Thx

Home glucose monitors are fairly accurate. If I were you I would ask to be given a trial on Metformin tablets. They are an oral hypoglycaemic, and help regulate blood sugars very well.

You are at the point where you cannot handle this condition on your own. You do not need a Specialist, a regular Internist can help you. It seems as if, at this point, you need some type of medication to regulate your sugar.
