Yes, he is resistant for sure. Lets see if he will agree to the GTT. I will keep checking his numbers to see if they go any higher too. Maybe that will convince him. Thank you all. Montana...
Thank you for responding. Actually, this is not for me. This is for my husband. I was recently dx with insulin resistance. I just check my husband with my meter to see how he does with carbs, and...
