[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1642391, member: 459333"] I plan to do the 75g NHS-style glucose tolerance test if and when I start consistently passing my own 34g carb tolerance test. I'm careful to call mine a carb tolerance test rather than a glucose tolerance test as I'm expecting the pure glucose test to be a bigger challenge even though it's all glucose when it's in the blood. In some ways it would have been nice to have done a full-on 75g glucose test before I lost weight, to compare results before and after, but to be honest at the time I had carb fear - I was getting dangerous and long-lasting spikes on as little as 6g of carbs from food that also had fibre in, so taking 75g of pure glucose just seemed like poisoning myself! So if/when I finally do it, I'll only be able to compare results to "normal" rather than "me a few months ago", but that will have to do! Thanks for the tip re Rapilose, I hadn't heard of that. Do you do this sort of test and what sort of things have you noticed? [/QUOTE]
