Help! Didn't fast for insulin test!!From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 31 Oct 2002 03:33:32 -0600 (CST)
I screwed up and didn't fast for the fasting insulin test. Actually, I didn't really KNOW to fast (I'm pretty new to all this). Anyway, when I had my blood taken, I noticed the form said FASTING insulin test, and I told the girl taking my blood that I hadn't fasted. She took it anyway. I got the results; I don't have them handy right now, but I know that the range went up to 20-25 and my level was around 52. My doc said I was "pouring out a ton of insulin", and I told him that I had eaten just an hour before the test, but he didn't seem very concerned. Now I've been taking Avandia for 3 months. Were my levels high, regardless that I'd eaten? Or should I get rechecked and stop the Avandia? BTW, I had an egg mcmuffin, hashbrowns and milk--- I know, I know, lots of carbs and crap...
