[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1787282, member: 219467"] I know I had a thread on this ages ago but thought I'd update you all. At the end of Dr Trudi Deakins' presentation on Sunday at the PHC (and as she had been another person to mention hyperinsulinaemia) I asked a question as to whether any HCP's in the audience had ever managed to get a fasting insulin test done via the NHS. There were probably over 50 GP's in the room and not a single one had ever got the test done through the NHS. Dr David Unwin said that he had been told that it wasn't available. Dr Campbell Murdoch said he had got one for a patient but privately and various other people reported doing the same with various price differences. So it looks like we have to get them done ourselves if we want to know for sure what our insulin levels are. I have no idea how to try to get this issue raised with NICE or whoever controls the available tests but it would seem to me to be a hugely important piece of information. [/QUOTE]
