[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1663344, member: 459333"] If you do, say, one every three months while embarking on a campaign of lifestyle change such as losing weight or starting to eat LCHF, you can compare one to the previous one to see if your curve has a lower peak and comes down quicker, both of which I'd take as a sign you are doing something right. What they won't show you is how much insulin was needed to deal with the glucose; two people with the same healthy looking curve could be producing very different amounts of insulin - the person who produces the least insulin probably having the healthiest metabolism. Either way, I'd say that if you can do something to lower the peak and reduce the duration, your metabolism is probably improving. [/QUOTE]
