You are getting some rather big fluctuations. The hypo was really quite low - and is obviously becoming a danger. The high you mention is really quite high. That the OGTT seems pretty normal doesn't reflect the intermittent fluctations you are getting. In the end it's these fluctuations that define the paramaters of your situation more than the OGTT results.

You sound a little confused about what it all means (as would most anyone in your position). It is certainly a variable, changing situation. If you can get onto a good endo who might shed more light about what stage you are at and what to expect and what exactly to try doing about it (after all they see far more pre and diabetic cases than other doctors), I'd definitely recommend it. What have you got to lose - some cash and maybe a waste of time. On the other hand they may have useful information about your confusing situation. I say go for it.
