[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2612908, member: 372207"] What makes you think this? SIRD stands for Severe Insulin Resistant Diabetes, which implies having diabetes. You do not have diabetes, nor have your results ever fallen in the prediabetic category. All your FBG's are nicely in the non diabetic range. What units were used for those fasting insulin tests? From what I read a normal fasting insulin level is considered anything between 2 and 25, although some sources prefer it to be <20, <15 or even less. Your C-peptide also falls in the normal range. Your lower fasting insulin levels in later years make sense if you've lowered your carb intake: your body didn't need to produce more insulin than it did, as proven by your hba1c results. This is not a sign of beta cell damage. [ATTACH type="full"]61229[/ATTACH] (source: [URL]https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2089224-overview[/URL]) [/QUOTE]
