Dr. J has devised a method for evaluating functional glucose tolerance at home as a means of detecting potential insulin resistance, focusing on fasting and post-meal measurements. The process commences with an overnight fast of at least 8 hours to ensure accurate baseline readings. The individual then consumes a meal and measures their blood glucose levels while fasting, and at 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours after eating using a home glucose monitor.

This approach allows individuals to monitor their blood glucose response after a meal, helping to identify abnormal glucose metabolism patterns that could signify insulin resistance. Ideally, blood glucose levels should peak within 1-2 hours post-meal and return to near-baseline levels by the 3-hour mark. If blood glucose levels remain elevated or take an extended period to normalize, it may suggest insulin resistance and necessitate further medical evaluation.
