there's this reference range should be much tighter i think it would change the face of medicine as we know it today
know what your fasting insulin is and that should be the metric that most of us are looking at to know when we're diabetic when we're pre-diabetic
so this all goes to say that I think that if you change your diet your fasting insulin will go down know what your fasting insulin is and that should be the metric that most of us are looking at to know when we're diabetic when we're pre-diabetic
I believe that fasting insulin levels should be used to diagnose diabetes and if these were drawn more we would see a massive increase in the diagnosis and treatment of pre-diabetes and diabetes
So it's important to understand the role that even stress can play on glucose. And that's why I think fasting glucose is... directionally interesting, but it's the, it's the insulin that gives you the, the, the more fine tuned insight.
