As Lucozade has changed its recipe is there something else that I could use to do a DIY OGTT?

[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1702705, member: 345386"] [USER=114214]@gardengnome42[/USER] - My only comment would be that you've had an HbA1c done. You know what that score was. If you do an OGTT you have no comparative, so really it's comparing apples with pears. And HbA1c indicates longer term, average blood glucose performance on an "all events" basis. The OGTT indicates your insulin response to one glucose incident (the Lucozade/Rapilose or whatever), which really isn't the same thing. If you have an HbA1c and it has improved; fantastic. If you have the HbA1c done and the score has deteriorated, for whatever reason, you can at least compare it with what you were doing before and for the last x number of weeks and decide what to change/tweak. I only did the OGTT on a whim, after I had been in a non-diabetic state, as defined by HbA1c for a few years. [/QUOTE]
