[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2315148, member: 216415"] I think the problem is that it is very difficult to test for insulin. There is a fasting insulin test but that doesn't say anything about how well the pancreas can cope with the demands of meals. There is a clamp test but that is only suitable in a research environment. The C-peptide test shows if you are producing none or very little insulin to identify Type 1 but it can't measure the dynamic response in a Type 2. [/QUOTE]
