Popping in for a quick update.
Well, this morning I finally got the chance to do my at-home glucose challenge test. The weapon of choice in this case was some yummy peach-ginger sorbet from a local gelatto place here in Portland. I'm approximating that the 1.5 cups of it that I wolfed down contained about 80 g of sugar (mostly fructose, though molecularly fructose is just one step away from glucose so I figured it was close enough).
What I got was this:
t=0 88 mg/dl (fasting 12 hours overnight, immediately before eating)
t=15 111 mg/dl
t=30 155 mg/dl
t=45 124 mg/dl
t=60 119 mg/dl
t=75 95 mg/dl
t=90 111 mg/dl
t=135 94 mg/dl
So, based on this, I think that my insulin response is working alright. But my fasting glucose is still generally high (90's or low 100's). Triskeliongirl - I was doing more reading about Dr. Bernstein's stuff and I've got his book on order.
