[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2085815, member: 345386"] CrumblingWall - In my experience, things are rarely as binary as apply x condition (non-carbed-up OGTT or whatever) and return x result. Individuals will differ, based ontheir personal physical condition, how many carbs they have actually eaten in preceding days, actual make up of the 75gr carb (some react differently to different types/styles of carbs) and the most recent past, in terms of stress, sleep and other factors. Like [USER=175573]@britishpub[/USER] , I did an OGTT and returned pretty decent, non-diabetic results, without having carbed up. Maybe I got lucky. Maybe it was an anomoly, but as I really detested the drink, I won't be forming a queue to repeat the proces. Please don't forget our bodies like to run to routines. In our usual eating and drinking routines, our bodies are ready to kick out the relevant amounts of digestive juices, enzymes and hormones. Doing something very different can trip the body up, as it just isn't ready for whatever it is we throw at at. This last meal effect isn't just a thing for people with diabetes. An example would be around Christmas, lots of folks have a ginagerous meal, eating more than they normally would, then end up having to retire to the sofa for a couple of hours afterwards, to get over the bloat and indigestion because their body is objecting to the overload it's just had. Repeat that process a few more times and it's likely their digestion would cope better, although it might well put their waistband under pressure! In terms of pancreatic insufficiency, I won't comment too much. I haven't had a c-peptide test myself, but for those of us still prodcuing natural insulin, exactly how much will vary, depending upon our usual eating patterns. I'm sure some pancreases are better "athletes" than others, in terms of the response to change. Finally, if your c-peptide is at the lower range, have you had your liver and adrenal glands checked out? Low c-peptide can also be associated with issues with those. [/QUOTE]
