[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1787405, member: 85785"] Yes during an extended OGTT! My endocrinologist asked for it, because he wanted to see how high my second insulin response was and how it affected my glucose readings. I believe it was part of the numerous tests, including c-peptide and GAD, others were included which were sent to a specialist laboratory in London. It was done through a cannula during my second eOGTT. After my first eOGTT, he noted the high spike within half an hour, the double insulin response, the overshoot of insulin, the continuous drop into Hypoglycaemia, he wanted to know, if he could use different diagnostic tests, including insulin tests. This test was done again, when I was first prescribed Januvia, to alter my initial insulin response. Because of the better initial insulin response, the spike was lower and the second insulin response was unnecessary. Both results were necessary for a true diagnosis and a form of treatment to offset the hyper/ hypo yo yo glucose levels. Being in ketosis, also helps reduce the insulin response, insulin resistance and the hyperinsulinaemia is not a problem. Having stability in blood glucose levels and insulin levels has helped in my good health I find myself. [/QUOTE]
