ALA supposedly lowers insulin levels too.

I suspect there was an effect. But how much can only be
determined with the test redone after abstaining from ALA for a while.

People with insulin resistance may show reactive hypoglycemia at 2 hrs, and you did not. So the ALA may be working for you.
Can't be certain however.

mrsD. - I don't know if they did an insulin level before the test. I have an appt. in 3 weeks and will see what I can find out. All I really know is that the copy of the report says:
Glucose Fasting and 2 hr
Glucose, Plasma
Two specimens had no times indicated. Labeled 1 and 2 for labs use. 1 = 89 mg/dl and 2 = 94 mg/dl.

Then the report goes on to report the results of the thyroid test.

Thank you for your response.
