[QUOTE="Sapien, post: 2157997, member: 507939"] I had a HOMA-IR and my result was 0.8 (BG 83, insulin 4.1). That is supposedly insulin sensitive and the insulin is quite normal fasting. I don’t know how beta cell function would be estimated from two static figures of fasting BG and fasting insulin. Have you checked your blood sugar after your deserts or a high carb starchy food? I see blood sugar spikes into the pre-diabetic range if I eat too many carbs at once. I need to limit carb portion size unless I will be exercising immediately after eating. I would be more concerned about limiting BG spikes than I would be about a slightly elevated fasting glucose. The damage comes with frequent spikes over 140 or with a level continuously over 120.
