Need help regarding insulin resistance and diagnosis
For those diagnosed with insulin resistance what testing did you have done for diagnosis ? I went to my dr regarding excessive weight gain. Being tired after eating, irregular menstrual cycles etc and she did a bunch of hormone testing as well as fasting glucose and fasting insulin which all came back normal . I've read about the glucose tolerance testing but if my fasting insulin and fasting glucose levels are normal would that mean I'm not insulin resistant and I shouldn't bother with asking for the Gtt? Or can I still be insulin resistant ? Help !!!

Post-prandial glucose levels are often affected before fasting glucose levels. If you are insulin resistant, it's possible that your glucose tolerance test will be abnormal even though your fasting glucose was fine.

Thank you does post prandial mean after drinking the glucose drink ?

For those who had the Gtt how long was your test? Two hours or three?
