A member asked:
How does one determine his/her glucose to insulin ratio, and how clinically significant is this with regards to screening for pre-diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insulin / glucose: Not really done in the usual clinical setting. Too labor intensive and difficult to interpret as there are many potential confounders. Fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1C are more than adequate for screening for diabetes.

My GP said my urine was positive for glucose, but the amount wasn't significant. My urologist looked at the same report & said he didn't see anything wrong. What could be the case? Who's more qualified to detect glycosuria? I'm scared about diabetes?
