[QUOTE="Ronancastled, post: 2391498, member: 517232"] Prof Taylor measured maximal insulin secretion rates back to normal at 12 months post remission in the follow up to his Direct Study. In his previous smaller study, Counterweight, he subjected his 11 "successsful" candidates to a 75g OGTT at 12 weeks & the results were pretty dismal. Recommendation is to eat 150g of carbs per day for 3 days prior to test. One off spikes, as you'll experience perparing & conducting this test, are unlikely to contribute to complications. The advantage is that it establishes a baseline for your insulin sectretion/sensitivity for you to track your progress in the future. [/QUOTE]
