I have had a number of people questioning whether I am really diabetic in the light of my latest blood tests and other comments I have made. My regime, readings and weight loss have been treated with a degree of cynicism by some. I am prepared to conduct an experiment which replicates my original glucose tolerance test from 5 years ago, if anyone is interested in this and the results.
The only condition is that NO ONE disputes the method described below or the validity of the test AFTER THE EVENT. If anyone has any issues about these then I wish to know beforehand and make adjustments if necessary.
The method:
1. At 7:00am by my Citizen watch, wash hands thoroughly, take blood glucose reading and record
2. Drink 1 litre of original Lucozade within 2 minutes whilst remaining seated
3. Record time on same watch and sit quietly and eat nothing for exactly 2 hours
4. Take reading every 15 minutes including a final test exactly 2 hours after drinking Lucozade
My prediction is that my bG will be more than 4.0 mmol/L above my fasting level and more than 7.8 mmol/L (non-diabetic)
Anything wrong with that anyone?
