need advice, have pcos and just had blood sugar levels tested for insulin resistance?
i have pcos and i am currently 8 weeks with a natural pregnancy,
as a precaution i had my blood sugar levels checked as a lot of pcos sufferers are insulin resistant.
i got my results yesterday which were 5.2 which the nurse tells me is normal (normal being anywhere between 3.5 and 5.5)
i had to fast for 10 hours before the test, so my question is,
how accurate is the test after fasting?
and does a blood sugar result of 5.2 mean i’m deffinately not insulin resistant?
how long do you need to fast for blood sugar levels to reach normal?
been told i need to do the glucose tolerance test….but i have rung up twice to find out how long i need to fast for and been told two different things… one told me not to eat after midnight my appointment is at 7.30.. the other told me 12 hours…
this is the 3 hour long test
