Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - Test for Insulin Resistant?

Thanks, I can hardly wait for the book.

I will ask my brother to give me a blood test, rather than pay $150 to be tested through the Schwarzbein/Transition site. He is not an endocrinologist, but he is a physician and he does have access to testing tools, I would think...

Is there a name for the test for Insulin sensitive vs resistant that I can request?

The weight is literally killing me. It is in my midsection as well as the rest of me for the first time in my life. I have a family history of diabetes, so I am trying to get this weight off before I am tagged.

It is so frustrating... I have been on low carb Atkins since August 2002 and I am tottering between 11-15 pounds, although I did lose 16½" from the places I bothered to measure. I have not lost inches nor pounds in three months...

something has got to change here....
