OK then maybe it was "normal" for that situation. Oddly the test is supposed to be done when fasting. I guess this would tell them if there is leptin resistance.

Are there any tests to check how well the hypothalamus or pituitary is functioning. I am getting blood drawn this morning and figure I'll make the most of it.

Thank you...
