A member asked:
Test just came back that my glucogon levels are low. reference range low is 40, and mine is 33. is this something to be concerned about?

Why was it done: Glucagon is not a normally performed blood test unless done in a research study. I don't know why it would have been done. What was your doctor looking for? Are you diabetic? A low glucagon level without other information is meaningless.

I took a Glucogon growth hormone stimulation test and received a peak GH of 3.5g/L. I have symptoms of low GH, but my result wasn't low enough to qualify for GH replacement. Could my result have been affected by my fasting for 16h the night before?
