[HICHAM_T2]

Hi
Today I Have One A question
How much it needs 100mg / dl of blood glucose from the insulin to burn
Does this differ from person to person?
I need to know how much insulin I produce without medication & with medication

I am not sure what this is with a healthy person but when you have diabetes, it varies greatly from person to person.

If you want to find out what your own insulin production is - you can do two things
a) arrange for a fasting insulin test which ill tell you the ball park levels of your fasting insulin
an b) do an OGTT insulin assay - which shows your insulin responds over time since eating. ( look up Kraft curves for details) - in the US you can do this as a home test via Meridian valley labs

Some of us outside the US have done home OGTT tests of glucose only which give an approximation based on the shape of the curve and the data here using Rapilose which you can buy on amazon. You can then correlate that with the data provided by the Kraft labs .. ( example attached)

This is a worked example of a guy using the Meridian Valley lab tests

Finally here is the paper butter bob mentions which which correlates fasting insulin with HDL, Triglycerides , waist to height ratios and BMI in adolescents - pity I can't find one for adults but the principles look the same.

Good reply thanks

Your first job is to have the fasting insulin test, and this requires a vial full of blood so you would need to have this done by a nurse or doctor. The lab in the UK is Medichecks but you would need to find one in your own country.

Sorry you means hemoglobin tests

No, I mean a test to discover your insulin levels after fasting overnight. Your original question was you want to know how much insulin you are producing.
