the formal name of the test is "oral glucose tolerance test" or OGTT.
it's available in most laboratories, po.
it will determine where you are, in the natural evolution of glucose tolerance problems of your body.
normal... gestational... impaired.. true diabetic.

so if I quit carbs or sugar ma reverse pa kaya yung insulin sensitivity?

Kahapon nga wala ako halos kinain. Just M&Ms the whole day and then I realized I finished almost 1/2 medium pack (but I spit out the almond) Napa google tuloy ako kasi baka ma diabetic coma ako. Apparently mga Americans nakakaubos pa 1 pack hehe

wait wait

di mo yata nagets

insulin sensitivity is good

that means your body is responding to insulin

insulin resistance is bad

your body is ignoring insulin

[uls]

kung gusto mo pumayat stop eating so much sweets

yung chocolate addiction mo

kahit magbawas ka sa rice walang kwenta

coz the sweets are triggering the insulin release

resulting in fat storage

I don't need to bawas rice because I barely eat rice. I can go several days without it. Ang issue ko talaga yung chocolate and pastries Dinalhan pa naman ako kahapon 3 packs ng M&Ms ng best friend ko tapos bukas bilhan ulit daw niya ko para sumaya naman daw ako.

yun na nga

di ka nga nagra-rice pero bawing bawi naman sa sweets

rice and sweets end up in the bloodstream the same -- as glucose

when you eat rice the body breaks it down into glucose (at least may breaking down process pa)

eh when you eat sweets and drink sugary drinks wala na breakdown breakdown

the sugar ends up in the blood faster than eating rice

tapos insulin release to deal with the large amount of sugar

so fat storage to the max

[uls]

and if you keep exposing your body to large amounts of sugar (and of course paulit ulit na insulin spike)

years and decades of that guess what happens to your body

it gets tired

so your body wont respond much to insulin na

so your blood sugar stays high all the time

get it?

bata ka pa kaya ok ka pa

keep doing that and in 10 or 15 years...

Why spit out the healthy part? Uls is right. You need to wean yourself off of sugar. May link pa naman ang high sugar sa dementia and Alzheimer's. Lalo na sa mga Caucasian gaya mo hehe.

I don't like nuts in chocolates kasi I am and look very Filipino already so I won't have those Caucasian issues. Though I think I do age faster Something to do with the lack of melanin ba yun?
