[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2042340, member: 365308"] Has anyone here had a medic calculate their homa=IR result (using plasma insulin and glucose levels) to diagnose insulin resistance? Could differentiate between late onset type 1 (may be less acute than the child onset variety) and classic type 2/pre diabetes or even those with hyperinsuliaemia. Agree that is key to get an early and correct diagnosis not just for the obvious reasons but because it may be possible to retain existing beta cells if you switch to a low carb diet (according to Dr Bernstein). I don't think using GAD or C peptide is necessarily just about cost but could be because they can be inconclusive. [URL]https://www.dtu.ox.ac.uk/homacalculator/[/URL] if anyone is interested.
