Sample taken and will be posted on my morning walk in a little while. Didn’t find it too tricky with the home kit. Pinky pretty much filled the pot in one go.
At the same time I measured my own glucose at 4.4mmol/L and will use this value to calculate my HOMA-IR when I get the insulin value. I understand that my own glucose reading carries a degree of inaccuracy, but it’s a very reliable and repeatable meter, so I’m happy that it’s good enough for what I am trying to achieve. Really I just want to know that my insulin isn’t elevated in the mornings, which does seem unlikely but one never knows without testing. Given my glucose trends, if my insulin is also low then I’ll truly be able to consider my diabetes gone (don’t want to debate the semantics of gone/reversed/remission - I’m well aware of the nuances and differences of opinion).
Should know in a couple of days
