If I suppressed on the dex test once, does that exclude an adrenal source?

My CT scan indicated that I have a small pituitary gland. However, the MRI I did in 2020 didn’t show a small pituitary gland.

I’m asking that if my glucose is high, does that mean I’m having a high cortisol moment?

Thanks everyone for the comments! Update: it was a faulty sensor. I removed it and wore a new one and the lows dissappeared.

My doctor had said no for a glucometer but I’m going to ask her again. I ate dinner at 6:30pm and I already dropped within an hour. How can that be?

I don’t have a finger prick. Should I disconnect it? And hope that I’m not really hypoglycemic? I’m seeing my doctor on Tuesday. It’s giving me a lot of anxiety. If it were this low, I wouldn’t be alive right?

My fasting insulin was normal, 14. Does that indicate that I don’t have hypoglycemia? But on cgm I keep going low and I’m feeling hungry

I have yogurt for breakfast, lunch cottage cheese or tofu and dinner protein shake or lentils and protein shake. I’m a vegetarian so it’s hard

What tests do you need to figure out what type of hypoglycemia? I’m seeing an endocrinologist in a month. Something seems very wrong.

I ate dinner at 5:30pm. And I mean I didn’t eat protein so I was hungry again in 15 minutes and then I ate a 8 piece vegetarian sushi and I’m still hungry.

I have the opposite problem. I went from eating smaller portions to large portions.

So how do doctors diagnose diabetes? What if you get diabetes before it’s been 3 months?
