[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2147139, member: 501623"] The only weight I lost fast was 10kg of baby weight in the first 2 months after having my 3rd baby and while I was still eating low carb. Then I stopped losing weight and am stuck around where I was when I fell pregnant (the 3rd time). I have about 5kg to lose to get back to what I was before having babies, and probably another 3kg to be at a more ideal weight. The HOMA- ir test checks what your insulin levels are doing in relation to your blood glucose to estimate how insulin resistant you are. From what I can tell, knowing your insulin levels is more important in the early stages than knowing your blood sugar levels because the insulin levels climb first to keep your blood sugar stable so by the time your blood sugar is climbing, you are already at the next stage of metabolic dysfunction. They don't routinely check insulin though, God only knows why not. You might find this talk interesting (or not.. ha ha). But he talks about the relation of HbA1c and insulin in there somewhere, as well as lots of other things. [MEDIA=youtube]o9PHHMvTe1Q[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
