I have a question...been doing lots of blood work. Recently did an 8hour Glucose fasting with draws @ 1 and 2hours.....results...........fasting was 85 @one hour was 83 and @ 2 hours was 82...........

I have had a few random levels done in recent history that where 88, 86 and 87.

Does it sound weird that I did not get a spike after the drink?

thanks for your input

Not necessarily. If your pancreas is working correctly, your blood glucose doesn't necessarily go up much after eating. Target blood glucose for a non-diabetic person is anything LESS than 140 after a meal, but that doesn't mean that a non-diabetic's blood sugar will necessarily be even that high after a meal. Sounds like you've just got a very efficient pancreas.

On the other hand, if it fell even lower (like down to less than 70), you might be dealing with reactive hypoglycemia. It's too bad they didn't test at the 3 hour and 4 hour mark, but unless you're getting symptoms of low blood sugar, there probably was no need to do so.
