[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2006262"] Speaking from the perspective of insulin resistant diabetes - for me personally it’s about low fasting glucose but, more importantly, perpetually low blood insulin concentration. Hyperinsulinemia causes type 2. Hyperglycaemia is merely a symptom of the dysfunction, so for me, I don’t consider good control unless both are normal. And by normal I mean normal, not normal for a diabetic. In my view, blood glucose is an important but overrated metric of metabolic health. As evidenced by the knowledge that by the time it’s too high, you’ve likely already been in a metablic danger zone for several years, and insulin toxicity has probably done you no good at all, irrespective of the blood glucose concentration that your body has been hanging onto by a thread. It’s all about the insulin for me. Keeping it low at all times is always my mission objective. Others have different standards and expectations which is also fine if it works for them. [/QUOTE]
