Re: Diagnosed yesterday. Medical questions RE my doctor & met. (Long)Questions about Avandia!From: Belle (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 28 Mar 2000 00:27:05 -0600 (CST)
Insulin and glucose are tested together to see if you are insulin resistant. This is because your dr needs to see how your body is processing the glucose. Lets say your anniversary was coming up and you "reminded" you husband about 100 times that this event was coming up. When he "remembered" was this because he had not forgotten or because you reminded him? The same kind of thing is true with the glucose/insulin tests. Your dr needs to see how high your insulin needs to go to have your glucose transported into the cell. Insulin is the "key" which unlocks the cell to allow glucose inside. If you need to triple your insulin level to get a set amount of glucose into the cell, this is important for your dr to know. If your insulin remains in the normal range and your glucose remains in the normal range, you are not having a problem with insulin resistance. What your dr is looking for is the relationship between your insulin levels and your glucose levels. I hope you can understand this. I am not sure that it is very clear. Maybe someone else can help.
