When the GTT was scheduled I had planned to hold off the ALA for a week prior to taking the GTT. However, the GTT appt. slipped up on me and I did not do that. I did remember to stop taking the ALA the day prior to the GTT.
Have I been taking ALA long enough (do I have enough of it in my system) to push my blood sugar levels down so as to present a false GTT response?
Thanks for your responses!

I am not sure I understand. When during the test was your sugar 95? On fasting? At the end? on the first draw?
I don't recall reading explanations of how long alpha lipoic acid lasts in the body exerting the lowered blood sugar effect.
If I find an answer, I will come back to this thread.
If your sugar level was 95 on fasting before the test, is this lower than before?
