Hi Tiffany...I asked you these questions, because you could still be IR.
Maybe. My first 2 blood tests came out "normal", and the doctors said I
was not IR, but I had all the symptoms of IR. (Symptoms for me were
pcos, high cholesterol and triglycerides, fatigue, dizziness, low
toleration to carbs, shakiness, headaches, etc.) Finally, I got smart
and carb loaded the day and night before my morning fasting test, and
then the IR showed up. My insulin level was high. I was so happy
because finally I could get the medication I needed so I could feel
better and normal for the first time in 20 years!
You might want to do a little research and get tested one more time the
right way just to be sure.
After that, if you aren't IR, all I can say is "lucky you", I wouldn't
wish it on anybody! :o)
Good luck.

>>WOW, I dont exactly know what I had done. I was fasting, and I think it was a glucose tolerance test. The results had something to do with my glucose/insulin ratio. It was done at 8:00am and I dont normally eat breakfast but was a little shaky. Might have been nerves and because I hadn't had my coffee! I do not know about my cholesterol and triglycerides levels- I dont even know what triglycerides is. But my Dr still says that I have PCOS.
