Yes, i would also request a 3-hour glucose tolerance test. And i would make sure to get insulin levels for that as well. Low HDL often occurs in insulin-resistant patients. So i highly recommend getting checked specifically for insulin levels during a 3-hour gtt. Often times, your glucose levels may be within the range of normal (albeit high-normal), but the amount of insulin your body must produce to achieve those levels is too high.
