Interesting. I've never needed to test my insulin levels, so I'm curious to see your friend's fbs. Could you ask? Would be nice to see his 5hr OGTT as well. As well as HbA1c.
He's getting tested for type 1 Diabetes.
I guess that means he has high fbs then.
He is probably extremely insulin sensitive and doesn't need a huge spike of insulin to clear glucose efficiently. I am the same. My fasting insulin is <2 and my blood sugar sometimes drops below fasting levels after eating 75-100 grams of carbs in one meal.
My insulin is low too and I experience the same thing especially with no starch. Do you clear fructose quickly too? Do you experience frequent reactive and fasting hypoglycemia? If so, have you found something that keeps your BG stable?He is probably extremely insulin sensitive and doesn't need a huge spike of insulin to clear glucose efficiently. I am the same.

Yeah, I sometimes experience fasting and reactive hypoglycemia. What I find helpful is to balance glucose and fructose in a 4:1 ratio with some fiber and added fat while keeping carbs and protein >2:1.My insulin is low too and I experience the same thing especially with no starch.

So you're managing it well. The fiber slows down the assimilation rate of sugar into blood. I found having a fatty steak to make me feel good then, when I had reactive hypoglycemia. I was having brown rice instead of white rice. I switched back to white rice when I fixed my reactive hypoglycemia.Yeah, I sometimes experience fasting and reactive hypoglycemia.
