Never Listen to Milas about RecoverPro

Well, general labs can't do dick as far as insulin resistance is concerned. I'm not sure if any of the more advanced ones can really confirm it, but most of what I read just suggests that it is determined if you have risk factors (e.g. are you overweight, do you not exercise, etc.). For example, I've had normal insulin readings and glucose tolerance tests showing up normally, but I"m actually having a 5-hour glucose tolerance/insulin response test done. Haven't researched that one too heavily, though I know it's just a matter of checking fasting numbers for both glucose and insulin, then having a glucose drink (last one I had was 75g for the 2-hour) and then checking numbers again on the hour for each.

And an insulin tolerance test is actually what I'm trying to get, which is one of the measures for growth hormone deficiency (others are various provocation tests using arginine, glucagon, etc.).

Sounds like I need to do some research....

I'll let you know what I find out after I have the testing done tomorrow in regards to if it provided anything useful.

In general, though, I got very frustrated with most of the information I'd look up on Metabolic Syndrome/insulin resistance and everything else; just a bunch of ways to "prevent" it and nothing actually on diagnosing other than risk factors.
 
An oral glucose tolerance test can only confirm...a lack of glucose tolerance. This test, combined with normal fasting glucose but high fasting insulin, generally confirms insulin resistance.

This is NOT the same as type II diabetes. To confirm type II diabetes, you need something similar to what MidWestBeast described...a test in which an oral glucose load is taken and both insulin AND blood glucose are monitored for a period of hours. This would be paired with high fasting blood glucose.

Is that something I can go ask for? Or do I have to take a few tests before getting the ones that I would want/need?

I don't know the specifics on what happened with your affiliation, but I did think it was crazy I hadn't seen you in so long. Hope everything worked out well for you regardless. Seems like you're happy with the current situation, so either way I guess you did well.

iForce is doing well. Its fun to watch the company you've been with going on 7 years growing.

Hit me up on FB man, same name as on here.



Hell hath frozen over...


No, I've just been a royal dick on this forum at times, and it's just not OK for me to act like that. I've made a serious effort on all forums to make sure that I don't come across as an *******, because I know it happens a lot. When people think I'm being rude, it's usually a translation issue with they way I type. Hopefully I've made some progress and can repair my personal image on AM. The last thing I'd want to do is tarnish how iForce looks due to my at time childish antics.

No, you're still a royal dick, but so am I. Before, I was just caged by my own rules, that's all. I took a different approach than the way you guys do things. Now I see where it's gotten me. Like you, 7 years (give or take) of loyalty and busting my ass and this is where I am. I've made it public to some, and haven't said much about it before because I promised not to. Then again, I've been F'ed over more than I ever thought, so might as well go a bit more public. I got canned. Me, of all people. Then again, so did everyone else... supposedly. Going out of business, cutting all costs, bla bla bla... translated to me getting 1/5 of my monthly income cut a month before Christmas. I took it hard, and very personal, because it messed with my family. You do NOT mess with my family - take food off my table or toys for my daughter from under the tree. Frankly, we were lucky to even have a tree this year. Times were/are tough. And yet, they're still kicking, I see... really? All that time and I was cheated, lied to, and tossed. Nice. And that's not even all of it. I got screwed over. The one guy who was with them since the beginning, fighting battle after battle to save face even when nothing was going well, and this was my fate. Buy from them if you want. Or don't. I don't care. I'm out of the game now and I'm not coming back.

So, I pretty much just stick to Facebook these days. And yeah, Vaughn, I'll friend ya. I mean why not? I got a friend request from Pat Arnold, and we all know the history there! lol Forgive and forget, days gone by. I only hold one grudge now, for good reason. You do NOT F with my family...and they did.

You can probably ask for it, but fasting blood glucose and oral glucose tolerance are more prudent IMO. The more complex insulin-glucose test is kinda like a "nail in the coffin" confirmation of type II diabetes

HEY! You watch it, Bennifer Love Hewitt!

I spent all morning at the doctor's office and then had to rush back to work for an appointment that had already been made in advance; and of course that student didn't show up, so I'm not too pleased. I'm getting ready to leave, now, and then have to spend the bulk of tomorrow at the lab having that work done. As long as they don't make me wait too long in the morning, I'll have time to run to the post office before my other doctor's appointment at 3:45. Otherwise, worst case scenario, it goes out on Thursday.

Haha, love the new nickname!

Let me guess, that's what you have been working on?
 
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I've got.
 
Emailing Josh to see if he can make me a customer PES t-shirt with "B-Wow" written on it.

Can you imagine me walking around a fitness expo with "Benny from the block" on the back of my t-shirt? lol

Let Josh know that I'll pay for it if you wear it for the whole expo---- to where everyone can see it!
 
I am going to get a photo of me in speedos chatting to Dusty at the Bodypower Expo.
 
Subbed before Jeff manages to get PES sued?
 
That's it. I am deleting the thread.

Screw you guys. I'm going home!

Dusty will love that. Now that you bring him into the mix, I highly support your decision in wearing a speedo.

Free iForce product of your choice if you can get a picture of you and Dusty in a banana hammock :D

pssshhhttt 347% is so 2012...

We dialed it down to not making any specific claims on percent increase.

Our marketing team is learning, just give us a small break and you'll see our new lineup is all legit stuff.

Did you specifically tell him I said to hook you up?

PM me your full name prior the FIBO this year, and I'll ensure the owner of iForce gets you some goodies, cool?

When I'm not at a show its hard to make sure certain things happen as planned. Will do my best to make sure you're properly taken care of this year, and to make up for last year.

and OK OK...2 free products for the thong.
