[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 1985426, member: 362123"] I'm sure your glucose is fine. I think your insulin level will be also. I have never had a fasting insulin level done, but have had a c-peptide level done a few years ago. It was a fasting level that I asked for. GP didn't even know what a c-peptide test was. Result was 0.3 nmol/l ... this was after a 12 -13hr fast. Shows I was not making enough insulin, which isn't surprising. Putting that into the homa2 calculator with an average FBG of 5.2 at the time showed IR 0.67 and beta cell function was at 66% I was talking to my endo specialist a week ago about this and he wants to get a c-peptide and GAD antibodies done post meal to see what is happening in response to food. So, I will post something when I get the results. It's all interesting stuff. [/QUOTE]
