My arm had so much blood sucked out of it for these tests

So many of you have been wondering about how my visit with Dr. Eric Westman at Duke Lifestyle Medicine Clinic in Durham, NC went this week that I wanted to make sure I provided an update, especially with the results from my five-hour glucose tolerance test (GTT) following a low-carb meal which was conducted on Monday. If you thought my home testing of my blood sugars was interesting enough, just wait until I tell you what happened during the GTT. Unbelievably crazy!

Check out these results of my GTT after eating a low-carb breakfast consisting of eggs and cheese with a chicken breast from Chick-Fil-A:

TIME–GLUCOSE–INSULIN
FASTING–87–4.4
30 MIN–89–13.7
1 HOUR–78–11.1
2 HOUR–78–9.0
3 HOUR–89–5.1
4 HOUR–87–5.0
5 HOUR–89–4.7

Click here to find out what all these numbers mean and what plan of action Dr. Westman suggests I follow to try to regulate this insulin response and hopefully commence my weight loss again.
