Find Clarity About Your Unexplained Low Blood Sugar
When your body’s blood sugar levels drop unexpectedly, it can feel frightening and confusing. You might experience sudden weakness, confusion, sweating, or even anxiety attacks without understanding why. These hypoglycaemic episodes can disrupt your work, family life, and overall wellbeing. Our GLUD1 Gene Test is specifically designed to uncover the genetic causes behind hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia type 6, giving you the answers you deserve and the peace of mind you need.
Understanding Your GLUD1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test examines your GLUD1 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the most accurate method available today. The GLUD1 gene plays a crucial role in regulating your body’s insulin production. When this gene has specific mutations, it can cause your pancreas to produce too much insulin, leading to dangerously low blood sugar levels even when you don’t need insulin.
Think of it as finding the instruction manual error that’s causing your body’s blood sugar control system to malfunction. By identifying this genetic cause, we can help you and your healthcare provider develop a targeted management plan that addresses the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test could be life-changing if you experience:
- Unexplained episodes of low blood sugar, especially after meals
- Family history of hypoglycaemia or similar blood sugar issues
- Sudden weakness, confusion, or dizziness without clear cause
- Anxiety, sweating, or heart palpitations during hypoglycaemic episodes
- Difficulty managing blood sugar levels despite dietary changes
- Children with recurrent hypoglycaemia that doesn’t respond to typical treatments
Many South Africans live with these symptoms for years without understanding the genetic component. Early detection through genetic testing can prevent long-term complications and provide targeted treatment options.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting a definitive diagnosis through genetic testing offers profound benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Stop wondering and start understanding what’s happening in your body
- Targeted Treatment: Work with your doctor to develop management strategies specific to your genetic condition
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns and make informed decisions about family health
- Prevent Complications: Early management can prevent severe hypoglycaemic episodes and related health risks
- Lifestyle Guidance: Receive personalised dietary and activity recommendations based on your genetic profile
Remember: Knowledge is power when it comes to managing genetic conditions. The sooner you understand your genetic makeup, the sooner you can take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for genetic test results can feel anxious. That’s why we include comprehensive genetic counselling with every test. Our certified genetic counsellors will:
- Explain your results in clear, understandable language
- Help you understand what the findings mean for your health
- Discuss management options with you and your healthcare provider
- Create a family pedigree chart to understand inheritance patterns
- Provide emotional support and guidance throughout the process
Your results will clearly indicate whether GLUD1 gene mutations were detected and what specific changes were found. Even if no mutations are identified, this information is valuable for ruling out this specific condition and exploring other potential causes.
