Answer
Hi Sherrie,

According to the criteria explained in "What is Hypoglycemia?, I would say that the results of your GTT shows that at one hour and two hours you would have experienced a hypoglycemic dip, that could be responsible for your symptoms.

I can recommend a good clinical nutritionist in Perth by the name of Blake Graham at:

Please give him a ring at (08) 9487 7409 for an appointment and he will help you.
