Which test was done: It depends on what kind of immunoassay the laboratory you were at was doing.When a typical oggt GH suppression test is done, we generally look for any reading over 1ng/ml 2 hours after the glucose for the diagnosis.With the newer immunoradiometric assays, any readying over 0.3nl/ml is considered a positive diagnostic test.So without knowing which test was used,it's hard to say based on your values

Thank

Acromegaly diagnosis: Oral glucose normally supresses GH. If the GH value goes up, >1 ng/ml, this suggests acromegaly. Only one of your values is >1. This would make me nervous about the diagnosis of acromegaly. What is your IGF1? Should be high. Why are you on cabergoline? Prolactinoma (they can sometimes make GH too). Talk to your Endocrinologist.
