These include elevations in non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) mobilization (typically greater in women) and the secretion of counter-regulatory hormones, which act to oppose insulin action and impair
glucose disposal.57 Previous works have noted similar deteriorations in
glucose tolerance in response to a mixed
test meal 58, intravenous and oral
glucose loads 58, albeit following longer fasting intervals of 72 to 96 hours.
I would really appreciate your advice because the nurse at my physicians office didn't believe me that low carb diet can affect results of the oral
glucose tolerance
test and was saying that my body should handle a carb
load like that regardless of diet.
