Unhappy insulin question

I read in another post about Squeezle, who had her insulin tested and found it to be high. She was then put on a medication.

My question is this: How should an insulin test after two months of LC'ing work? Should I go back to a "regular" diet before the test?

I'm having my thyroid rechecked and asking for a test for insulin next week. The weight is not coming off, nor are the inches. So I wonder if my insulin isn't way out of balance. I take thyroid therapy and seem to fit in the category of folks who are insulin sensitive.

Thanks for the help.

hi Aztova,

My advice would be to stick with your low-carb program for more accurate results. Besides, you must be fasting for 8 hrs before the test is done anyway, water only to drink.

Here's some information about the Insulin test, and what the results mean.
