[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2069426, member: 6467"] [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] [USER=496333]@Jim Lahey[/USER] Insulin Resistance is generally held to be when you are producing insulin but your BG is above normal levels. One typical example is an overweight/obese T2 with very high insulin levels but also very high BG levels. However this is not the only scenario. As long as your pancreas isn't producing enough insulin to keep your BG within normal levels you can have a combination of IR and insulin production across a very wide range. [ATTACH=full]33455[/ATTACH] As you can see from these results my fasting BG is a bit high but I am still producing (lower) normal amounts of insulin. The test was in December 2017 almost 10 years after first diagnosis so this is unlikely to be a honeymoon period for a T1. I'm not sure what is causing the IR apart from a sad tendency to retain fat around my middle. [/QUOTE]
