I found this on my travels, and it seems to be relevant to the T2D community.

Thanks for posting, very useful. Next up, estimates of how long it might take for any of these estimate measures to be widely adopted.

Dislikes

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

Grinding my way through it now.
Far too much introduction, though.

At the moment I am trying to get my head round the various differently named measures which all seem to be using the ratio between fasting BG and fasting insulin.

Very interesting and slightly discouraging as it seems we're a long way from a test that is reliable and simple enough to be on a standard test battery from a typical doctor's office.
