Glucose Tolerance Test


Recommended Posts

I was up in the wee hours of the night last night, worrying about my son as I know you all can relate to, and came across this site:

which suggests that PANDAS kids should be tested for hypoglycemia. The test suggested is a glucose tolerance test (4 hour test with all 1/2 hourly readings). I have never heard of this before but was very curious as I am hypoglycemic and most of my father's family (he was one of nine) were diabetics. Though I will say I have not seen severe signs of hypoglycemia in my son.

 

Has anyone had this test done? Should I consider this? My son's doctor is Dr. T and he has never suggested this. Nor has my son's lyme doctor, thought we have only seen him twice.

We have done this. I brought my daughter to a pediatric GI doctor a couple of years ago when I was trying to put the pieces together. He ran many tests and that was one of them. It is a 4 hour test done in a hospital. The only hard part was not eating before. The test came back normal which was good I guess. I am all for trying to rule it all out. Good luck if you do it.
