[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2061033, member: 94045"] Really? A normal HbA1c proves nothing except your average BG levels are within the normal range. It does not show what state your pancreas is in or what your circulating insulin levels are like. The HbA1c has many faults. Only an insulin test (insulin resistance test) will show this. It is perfectly possible to have a normal HbA1c yet have high circulating insulin due to insulin resistance. Most T2s have insulin resistance and high circulating insulin as much as decades before glucose levels become a problem. This is what leads to T2 in the end. There must be millions of people walking round with normal HbA1cs that have IR and high circulating insulin. [/QUOTE]
