Diabetes Cannot Be Diagnosed In Time, Nor Reversed Without Blood Insulin Tests
To provide a broader context for due deliberation of the data in Table 1 concerning control subjects, Tables 2 and 3 present the data concerning insulin homeostasis of 506 subjects without diabetes and 178 patients with diabetes in a general New York metropolitan population.14 Note that a 1.3-fold increase in mean peak blood glucose level is accompanied by a 16.1-fold increase in mean peak blood insulin concentration (Table 2) glucose rise: from 110.2 mg/dL to 150 mg/dL; insulin rise: from 14.3 uIU/mL to 231.0 uIU/mL). The author’s conclusion: blood A1c level, fasting blood glucose level, 2-hour post-prandial blood sugar levels, and glucose tolerance tests of all types cannot be relied upon for assessing insulin status of the patient. I add here that blood insulin concentration determined with randomly drawn sample is utterly unsuitable for assessing insulin homeostasis.
The Challenge in Reversing Diabetes
is not to know what any doctor thinks about diabetes and drugs used to treat diabetes but how to learn to think for yourself about insulin, health, and healing.
I suggest you spend time at http://www.alidiabetes.org
The Most Important Question in the Prevention and Reversal of Diabetes (Type 2)
No question is more important for stemming the global tides of insulin toxicity and diabetes than the question in the title.
The Answer:
Insulin levels rise first, usually by five, ten, or more years before blood sugars level rise.
Why is this important?
Because insulin toxicity continues to cause cellular damage in the liver, kidneys, heart, brain, eyes and other organs unknown to the patient and the doctor if insulin tests are not done. For more info, go to http://www.Ali Diabetes.Org for the author’s free-access course at

Why Do Diabetics Need Insulin Shots?
Because Their Pancreas Has Exhausted Its Lifetime Capacity of Produce Sufficient Insulin
Note the extremely high blood insulin level (298 uIU/mL) still cannot keep the blood glucose level in the normal non-diabetic level.

Jul 18, 2014 – I report a case study of reversing diabetes with pancreas regeneration and offer commentary. Pre-diabetes is an insulin toxicity state. Typically, the peak blood insulin levels in pre-diabetes are five to ten times or higher than the peak level (usually 25 micro-units or less. When pre-diabetes advances to …
