Dinner Meal Before Fast Insulin/FBS Test
I was diagnosed with NAFLD/NASH recently.
Doctor also suggested to get Fasting Insulin+FBS test done to check Insulin Resistance and then start appropriate treatment to avoid Type 2 DM.
But all labs and some posts do mention that the Dinner Meal taken before the test significantly affect the tests.
So what is the suggested Dinner Meal shall I take to ACCURATELY diagnose Insulin Resistance, if exists?
Inaccurate results hamper and delay the much required treatment.

You should observe a fast for 10-12 hrs and avoid high carb diet at night. Serum insulin levels are not of much use in diagnosing insulin resistance. It can be done clinically
