5 hr gtt: You need a 5 hour glucose tolerance test. Your notation that "glucose is normal" and "post-prandial Insulin is 66" may be mis-timing the changes that occur during your symptoms. These changes are quite dynamic, changing over minutes.

A 35-year-old male asked:
My blood glucose level is 105 mg/dL after fasting for 12 hours. My symptoms are muscle cramping with exercise, always thirsty, and frequent urination. I also do a low carb diet. Could I have low insulin and my muscles arent getting glucose?
