c-peptide is better than insulin and he will do that test. My fasting is between 5-6 mmol/l. It varies depending on stress previous day. It is lower when I slept better and higher when I did not. Or ate food before bed.

Thanks, I shall do exactly that. I want to find out what is going on because I personally do not feel well above 8 mmol/l and think it is just not a place I want to be. I cannot get away with keto because it caused too many problems. So, carbs are needed as well as find out if there is an issue.

Hi all, I have posted 3 years ago. I have gone to an endo because they found sugar in my urine. My hba1c was normal, but I failed glucose tolerance test. The c-peptide, antibodies were all ok. I went in to do the test on lower carb diet and hence endo thought my failure was because of that... 3...

Hi guys, I had wisdom tooth surgery last Wednesday and was given antibiotics due to infection. I have noticed that my fasting glucose became higher since antibiotics. Usually 5.2-5.6 mmol/l I now wake up 6-6.2 mmol/l I also see that same amount of carbs is spiking me higher than in the past...

Been reading this: https://medium.com/@glucosegoddess/why-glucose-spikes-when-you-exercise-are-good-for-you-5e9bcaa41623 Is it normal that she spikes to 10mmol/l doing intense exercise? To be fair, I noticed me spiking a bit higher after intense bike ride, while my BG drops when walking.

Hi guys, I am type *** (probably insulin deficient somewhat). My usual fasting glucose is 5.2 mmol/l. It refuses to go down below 5 mmol/l which seems like being normal to me. I spike to 9 mmol/l after 30g of carbs but come down after 2-2.5 hours. I do not seem to have insulin resistance. I am...

I tested this myself because I did the homework on what is important. All of the tests I do are paid out of pocket. I do them back in Eastern Europe, usually costs around 80EUR, includes a lot of tests.My level is low because of lack of carbs. My level was at the very top range in 2017 June...

I am plotting some graphs here so you guys can see how it looks like: Glucose Tolerance Test under ketogenic diet (2 years ago) A meal consisting of around 25g of carbs: The dips are me walking outside. The rise back to above 7 is me laying in bed.

I am sorry if I have sounded annoying. I just never heard of someone performing way better by drinking pure glucose at a high carb count compared to lower carb count from complex carbs. I certainly have failed my OGTT twice and it was pretty clear that there are issues. But also: your body does...

That is not true. If insulin is absent, you will go high and stay high, maybe BG reducing somewhat if you move and jump a lot. I noticed that my BG goes down if I move around or do some hand swinging, but when I sit down and do nothing, it creeps back to before-exercise level. The endo said she...

I just went to endocrinologist. She disagreed with the person 2 years ago. She said my c peptide is below normal range ( though when questioned, admitted that normal range applies only to high carb diet). She then said I should not have insulin resistance because I am not overweight. I told her...

Maybe but to prevent ketoacidosis one does not need a lot of insulin floating around. I keep reading studies out there and find most of them blame reduced insulin secretion not resistance for delayed reduction in glycaemia.

I went hypo when they transported me to NHS hospital. Measured myself at 3.9 shaking and sweating. The last official measurement they said to me was 7.x and that it was coming down. They also looked certain just by seeing me that it will come down...why were they so certain?

Yes, I don't know if it helped. I did not eat carbs so there was no problem. I doubt it was glucose, why infuse someone with glucose again when they just went high during the test?

So how do they know it is my problem...you can't tell especially when c peptide was below range before test. It is annoying...here is a thing. I am trying to add more carbs and my experience is the same as in GTT. Going high for 2.5 hours and then start to come down at 3 hours. It is really...

I am emailing the private hospital I was at and see what all the records about me say. If they measured insulin at various points, yay, if they did not, how would they know it is insulin resistance ... for all I care, it could be pancreas getting weak for whatever reason. P.S. in that link, it...

Did you do one after carbing up? I honestly don't see how my issue is insulin resistance. All I can find with my parameters is that pancreas mirrors type 1 response when not carbed up, so it produces not enough insulin to deal with sudden carbs load. It then takes time for it to get itself...

Hba1c is fine. Low carb makes me feel miserable, I don't want to do it anymore. Plus, my urologist said low carb caused the kidney stones. I don't want more of them. I honestly cannot believe what I am reading in previous endocrinologist writings ... first, he claims I had insulin resistance due...

Ah, yeah, I remember. 2h - 14.2 mmol/l. I did come down to 3.9 mmol/l at 3 hours though which was weird. Your resistance looks pathological, while mine is still not clear what it is. I am leaning more and more to something bad and not physiological though. I find it weird: the doctors I talk to...

It is not good enough evidence for anything. Showing me one person (N = 1) with great glucose handling is not addressing the question of what is normal. I have talked with doctors and even people on Reddit (who are doctors) said that normal people go much higher than 6 mmol/l, especially after...
