I'm finally going to have a 5 hour glucose tolerance test done. I've always told doctors that I am not willing to take the test. I just didn't want to go through the week or two of suffering that will follow. Does anyone know if insulin can be checked through the duration of the test? Is it common to have insulin levels checked during a GTT?

View 1 RepliesI am wondering if anyone else going through menopause has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes that only began with the onset of menopause? I have never had an issue with BGL's until the start of menopause, now they are out of whack and Dr has diagnosed me with Type 2 diabetes. I don't agree with this diagnosis as my gut feeling is that it is all related to the menopause and hormone regulation through the liver. My question is if anyone has had this experience and did BGL's return to normal after menopause. I am not on any medication, trying the diet and exercise thing first (mostly because I am in denial about the whole thing)
So I failed my hour glucose test. Have to take the 3 hour next week. So upset.
