Thank you for everything. My ratios all look OK. However my second and
third hours do go over <30 a bit. But my glucose never goes over at any
point. Then the four hour my insulin goes from 36.3 to 10.2 which my
doc said was a great indicator that I was not insulin resistance. What
do you think about that?
God Bless
