Morning All,
I've just received the result of my fasting insulin test and @Bluetit1802 asked if I would post the result. So here goes, I had the blood drawn at 8am and my self test blood glucose at that time was 6. The result of the fasting insulin was 3.1. Not sure what this tells me but will add it to all other info for future reference. Also had a 4 point cortisol test which came out as optimal.
I am beginning to wonder if I my HbA1c results are accurate as my bg readings are generally in the 5s with a rise to high 6's and occasional 7's post prandial. My meter tells me I should have an HbA1C of about 34 but I've never achieved a number below 40. I believe for some people the longevity of their red blood cells could be more or less than 120 days and therefore an HbA1C could be flawed. I think @Bluetit1802 may have the same problem and has done some research into this.
This disease is like unravelling a messed up ball of string ....... frustrating!
