Reactive Hypoglycemia

[Jacob B is Tarzan]

I went for a 3 hr fasting Glucose Tolerance Test. My results were: first hr 85, second hr 83, and third hr 87. The doctor said I have reactive hypoglycemia and didn't give me any other info. I know nothing about it so I made an appt. with a nutritionist. I haven't found anyone with hourly results to be almost the same for the entire 3hrs. Can anyone explain exactly what my results mean? How bad are my results?

Are you diabetic?

According to this info page: http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/hypoglycemia/

"A blood glucose level below 70 mg/dL at the time of symptoms and relief after eating will confirm the diagnosis. The oral glucose tolerance test is no longer used to diagnose reactive hypoglycemia because experts now know the test can actually trigger hypoglycemic symptoms."
