    Just updating this in case others find it search engines in the future - I passed the oral glucose tolerance test and my most recent IGF-1 test was barely elevated.

    Hi. I know this is an old thread, but nvsmom, I didn't know if you'd had any more investigations for this? I've had high IGF-1 readings but I don't have many symptoms of acromegaly. I'm waiting to find out more but in the meantime I'm trying to research what happens if there's high IGF-1 but no pituitary tumor found. I have had some testing for celiac...
