Hi i have been having bad reactive hypoglycemia since i was teenager, however i am finding that since the pregnancy of my first child in 2007 i started to get higher bloodsugars. I had a GTT done in 2010 which is shown below. I have been monitoring my reactions to foods recently because i am having some symptoms. These include, blurred vision and extreme tierdness following meals, this is ALWAYS when my bloodsugar is at its highest peak. I do still get the reactive hypos with the symptoms but they are not as bad or as frequent anymore. Now looking at my results below i am sure it seems that my insulin and c peptide levels are way to high. I do have PCOS and was put on metformin to conceive which i did. I then stopped the metformin when i found out i was pregnant and i started getting these symptoms but on a much milder scale. However if i am to eat any carbohydrates without protein, even complex ones i am getting these symptoms. If anyone can shed some light on the below results it would be greatly apreciated.

Glucose tollerance test taken 2010 October-samples every 30 minutes(my apologies but i have had to put each thing tested under each other because it will not allow me to put them in a table to show them next to each other)
