[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1633884, member: 94045"] I'd be interested to see that. My understanding is the insulin tests they do randomly involve clamping and several blood withdrawals and also blood being added back. I don't know the ins and outs but it is only used in research, not as a routine sort of test, and definitely not on the NHS. As far as fasting goes, the base insulin is what is needed to estimate IR along with the base glucose level all taken at the same time. The more insulin we have in the morning the more we are likely to be IR because that is circulating and should be very, very low when fasting.. If we are IR it won't be low. [USER=327005]@CherryAA[/USER] and [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] are the experts on this and understand it better than I do. Bulkbiker has done 2 tests. The second one was later in the day and his results were higher. (Hope I got that right) [/QUOTE]
