Suggest treatment for hypoglycemia
Patient: My normal blood sugar level is between 60 and 70 when I am not fasting and when I am. It spikes to up to 200 when I eat and than drops rapidly back to 62 within an hour or two.  My Grandfather on my Dad's side was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and my Grandfather on my Mom's side was diabetic. Should I be concerned about the spikes or where it regulates itself?? Doctor: Hello, Thanks for the query.I have seen the details. My suggestion is get a oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) done. That will give a clear indication about whether you have any problem with blood glucose. Secondly if persistently low glucose levels are seen and are causing any problem it is better to get your C-peptide level to see if there is any excess insulin. Another important point in a normal person even when one eats any sanck blood glucose level does not go above 140 mg. So if it going beyond that (200 mg) then it appears to be presence of diabetes.  Therefore, please get an OGTT done. Thanks.
