[QUOTE="JuliaAR, post: 1364017, member: 321813"] Hi, I'm a bit confused at the moment. Having posted a thread on here about failing to find a control solution for my meter to check it's accuracy a very bright person suggested that I go to a lab to simultaneously have a fasting glucose test and use the same sample to test my meter. So that it exactly what I did and it's 100% accurate which is great. However, having read something online yesterday about insulin and insulin resistance testing I decided to get this done at the same time and it turns out that I have a perfectly normal insulin level (3) and am way out of the insulin resistance bracket. The margins were >10 normal to <5 insulin resistant and my count was 43. At the same time my fasting glucose count was 7.2 (129) with a recent HbA1c of 6.1. Also my accurate meter is giving me readings all over the place from 4.7 to 7.8 at different times and in different situations so I definitely have a problem with glucose control. I'm really confused. Can you be prediabetic and not insulin resistant? o_O [/QUOTE]
