I overheard the lab tech's talking at the time saying that if the
fasting was over 70 they would have to reschedule the test. I thought
52 was low too, but I wasn't able to think so early in the morning and
forgot to ask them what it all meant. I know that hyPERglycemic is what
people with IR have, but can you be hyPOglycemic and still be IR? Thanks
for the info.
