I posted this on the thread about getting the OGTT approved, but wasn't getting a lot of response. I have my three month follow up on Wednesday so I'm hoping to get some advice in regards to the dicussion I need to have with my GP, especially in regards to requesting an endo appointment:

Well, it's done, and I'm not sure whether I am relieved or more confused.

My fasting was 91 (81 on my meter.)
One hour was 162 (185 on my meter).
Two hour was 160 (175 on my meter).

That is firmly in the prediabetic range, which on one hand makes me feel relieved. On the other hand, I have had readings as high as 280, as of a couple of weeks ago I was having readings well into the 200's several times a times a week. This past week my readings have been a lot lower than they've been, so I'm still kind of wondering what's going on. Were the high readings a fluke or temporary thing? Or the low readings? Oh well, for now I will take it as a good sign.

The only part that sucked was that I dipped down to 45 while on my way to get lunch after the test and stupid me just had one glucose tab left in my purse. :stars: I felt like I was going to pass out. Thank God Panera was not busy and they made my drink quickly (at my request) so I could get my sugar back up. Note to self: next time bring something to eat right away.

On a side note: Several people here have recommended seeing an endo, and my mom wants me to see one. I'm wondering if that is necessary at this point. Perhaps it would be better to take a wait and see approach. These numbers are not very close to the diagnostic criteria for diabetes, so as long as I don't keep going above 200 is there any reason to see an endo?
