[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1143015, member: 41816"] WELL DONE!!! This reversal business is always a bit of a lottery, but it looks like you have won the jackpot! Congratulations. - the standard test in the UK is the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, which is (I think) 75 g glucose in water, drunk quickly. Some places use a measured amount of Lucozade to provide the same no of carbs. Maybe have a look online for the exact test criteria? Not saying you should do it exactly like that, but there are a number of reasons the test is set up that way - no fats or proteins to slow digestion, drunk quickly (the nurse timed me and said I have to drink the lot in 3 mins), so they can get the timing right... that sort of thing. Maybe you could go about doing a home version of it? Probably worth mentioning that as a full blown T2 I would NOT do a home OGTT test on myself. The last one I had made me feel very ill indeed, and I wouldn't want to be 'home alone' feeling like that at all. But in your situation, with such excellent pizza-test results, you probably wouldn't have any issues at all. :) [/QUOTE]
