I'd Go for Both!
Hi Stacey,

I think I'd go for both tests, because I think they'll show up different aspects. This isn't my area of expertise, but blood glucose shows how well your system is able to regulate your glucose level when it doesn't have to do much at all (fasting glucose level). The insulin level would show how much insulin your body is having to produce to maintain that glucose level at rest. I would assume that, if your glucose level is normal to high-normal, but your insulin level is elevated, it would indicate insulin resistance.
Anyway, I would opt for the second test, if there's still time.
Blessings,
