[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 1106285, member: 113206"] [SIZE=4]I did not do an official GTT. My criteria for affirming that I got rid of my insulin resistance was based on blood glucose levels (HBA1c, fasting, and after a high carb meal), triglycerides/HDL ratio, and ALT. My diabetes had been reversed before I switched from LCHF to zero carb. The following paper is about TG/HDL ratio as a surrogate for insulin resistance ("[B]TG/HDL ratio as surrogate marker for insulin resistance"[/B]): [URL]https://www.escardio.org/Guidelines-&-Education/Journals-and-publications/ESC-journals-family/E-journal-of-Cardiology-Practice/Volume-8/TG-HDL-ratio-as-surrogate-marker-for-insulin-resistance[/URL] Right now, my ratio is 1.0, but it has been as high as 3.9. (Note units are mg/dL, not mmol/L). Greater than 2.5 indicates insulin resistance. It's also a predictor of heart disease, with the ratio ideally being under 2 if you don't want heart disease. High ALT is a sign of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is related to insulin resistance. Mine was 62 at diagnosis (above 60 is bad), but is now 29.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
