I follow your videos with great interest and I benefit a lot. I give my thanks. I order fasting glucose, HbA1c and fasting insulin level tests from my patients. I think that the HbA1c value gives enough information about the patient's susceptibility to diabetes. The patient gives blood only once. Patients undergoing an oral glucose tolerance test sometimes get worse during the test. Nausea and feeling faint may develop. Moreover, the test takes at least 2 hours and the patient hurts more. Could you please explain to me clearly what advantage the oral glucose test has? What advantage does my patient have that is worth hurting, wasting her time, money, poisoning her with sugar?
Good review info. Thank you. You can easily run your own OGTT with a capillary BG monitor or CGM. Make your own glucose solution by weighing 75 grams of dextrose on a kitchen scale and dumping that into 240-300 ml of water. (Dextrose is just the name given to glucose by the food industry.) You can order your own lab tests online through several different companies and getting your blood work draw at a local lab. (Self-ordered labs will not be covered by your health insurance.) A physician who works for the online company will review your results with you. Note: If you want to check your fasting insulin or c-peptide, be sure you also check your fasting BG at the same time so you can accurately interpret your results.
So my son is only 6 and I think he is diabetic and doctor's just cant get on board. I finally got them to do a c peptide test and we agreed to do it after he ate. It was within 1-2 hrs of him eating a big bowl of oatmeal and it was 1.5. Doctors said it was normal. My question is why is the lab rang only like .8 to 3.85? Is that how the range shows up when its measured for fasting? You guys keep talking about over 4 ect but its not even on there.
Agreed on the dangers of high insulin. I disagree 100% that ingesting a pure glucose solution is a good diagnostic tool because it is SO toxic to the body to do this. The fasting insulin level should be tested TWICE a year along with A1C. Since the cause of diabetes is carbohydrate poisoning aka chronic high blood sugar the WORST form of treatment is insulin. My provider was extremely reluctant to test my fasting insulin. The vegan lifestyle is SO toxic and it is still being pushed as healthy. The vegan folks eat gigantic amounts of carbs. The result is chronic high insulin which creates most disease. ALL foods except pure unprocessed proteins have hidden sugars in the form of dextrose, multi-dextrose, high fructose corn syrup, rice syrup, cane sugar. Nothing helped me except the Carnivore eating plan.
Lies, you will die without glucose in your blood. It is not toxic. There is nothing in the scientific literature even remotely resembling "carbohydrate poisoning". The healthiest, most fertile, most productive nations in the world eat a mainly starched based diet.
just had my wife's c-peptide tested...it came back as 4.3...however my wife is on an insulin pump, loaded with U-500. and her sugar levels are in the 200 and 300s.
Damn, I’m lean and fit, but when I eat straight fruit my glucose will shoot to 180 in the first hour sometimes. After 2 hours it normal. Had a fasting insulin 2.2 C-peptide 1.0 Normal fasting glucose and A1c So since my sugar jumped up that high, I may be pre diabetes. Damn

What test do a Diabetic (.type 1 or 2 ) needs to take before a surgery?
it'd be useful to also cover the actual healthy people...what's their c-peptide look like and etc.
Thank you.

@@GregariousAntithesis well she has done the keto thing and the results are the same high 200 and 300s...so now I will transition her to plant based.

@@MasteringDiabetes thank you. I probably will soon
You’re welcome!
So how can we find this guy, I want to do a Skype call with him. Can y’all drop his info

Had a fasting insulin 2.2
C-peptide 1.0
Normal fasting glucose and A1c

You don't have diabetes.
Check blood sugar after two hours
most fruits are full of sugar so of course your BG is going to jump. 180 isn't bad for such high sugar content.
