[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2056686, member: 41816"] A fasting insulin test might be useful to you too - although since it isn't found on the NHS, your doc probably won't have heard of it, or know how to interpret it. *** education opportunity *** (if they are open to it) You can get very reasonably priced private Fasting Insulin Tests (or Any Other Time Insulin Tests, depending on when you take the blood sample) from several companies including Medichecks and Thriva. The result of the test would inform you how much insulin you have circulating at the time of the test - which you can compare with what you had eaten, and give you a rough idea whether you are insulin resistant, or insulin deficient. No idea if you doc or consultant would be willing to take that info on board, but it might provide you with the info you need to make an informed decision. [/QUOTE]
