MAG-10 and Glucose Tolerance Results

Nutrition
1

Just received a call from my midwife in regards to an oral glucose tolerance test that I participated in yesterday. It was not fasted. The blood work was drawn one hour exactly after I had finished the glucose solution. My results: 97mg/dl, up from 56mg/dl a few months ago after the exact same test. The absolute only change that I have made in my diet is by adding in MAG-10 pulses in the place of snacks and when I work out. After feeling terrible for years, I cannot believe that I finally got a normal reading on my blood sugar. I’m just ecstatic.

There have been several discussions on here lately about the “carbs” in MAG-10 or it’s effect on insulin so I felt it only right to share my own test results.

Were you regularly working out when your blood sugar was out of control ? And eating healthy?

Because working out and overall diet likely had a far more significant impact on your insulin sensitivity than anything else including supplements like MAG-10

Yeah, something leads me to think there were other changes beyond just the MAG-10, not saying the OP is uninformed or lying… just something just doesn’t make sense with that situation.

did you recently give birth?

Edit nvm i just reread your original post.

Your blood sugar significantly increased (still within a healthy range albeit the higher end of it), which means you would have decreased insulin sensitivity.

Could just be gestational diabetes which is what it sounds more like. Although i presume the midwife would of discussed this

That changing to MAG-10 would magically fix your glucose response/insulin tolerance.

Unless the snacks you were replacing was like 2 pounds of potato chips or something.

If MAG-10 was able to do what you are insinuating it does, diabetes wouldnt be one of the biggest health problems in the country (let alone the world)

No such claim was made about anything being magically fixed. I posted results from a blood test done in the hospital. That’s good enough proof for me.

I choose a high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate diet. That is something I have stated fairly regularly on here. It works for me. I’m not a potato chip fan but prefer real food.

I’m not diabetic but hypoglycemic. By your logic (how I’m reading this) is that crap food can affect your blood sugar in a negative way but there is no way that good food and nutrients can affect your blood sugar in a positive way. Is this what you’re saying?

nah I actually misread your original post.

Edited mine accordingly

But you said your diet stayed the same and the only change was MAG-10. Where theres nothing special in MAG-10 (to my knowledge) that would have a substantial impact on blood glucose/insulin tolerance

97 is a good number and not at the high end. It is not gestational diabetes. That’s what the test was initially done for. My number is not even close to gestational anything.

Unless im reading the wrong thing

They suggest < 95 is normal @ 1 hour

Protein?

No biggie about the original post. I do that too from time to time.

Web MD isn’t a site I’d go to for medical info but the 95 that you were looking at was for fasted results. My tests were not fasted. I had a MAG-10 drink two hours before I went to the hospital.
