    I read your posts with interest. I have issues with wheat and gluten and was tested for coeliac with both blood tests and intestinal biopsy….all negative.

    Diverticulosis

    After being the poster child for excellent eating….ie, lots of veggies, I developed diverticulosi. The following colonoscopy showed it had gotten much worse. What had I done? I added way more fibre. So years of bloating, gas and just not feeling well…it was the dang fibre! I now eat as...

    How does Libre calculate A1c ?

    C-Peptide results ?

    They are similar but I would absolutely have the test for fasting insulin if my c peptide numbers were being questioned. this test can indicate if you are insulin resistant (HOMA IR calculation) and a very low number would indicate type one.
