G6PC2 participates in glucose handling in pancreatic beta cells.

G6PC2 encodes a glucose-6-phosphatase-related protein expressed in pancreatic islet cells. Common variation is associated with differences in fasting glucose regulation; it is not the insulin receptor.

Normal <100; prediabetes 100-125; diabetes ≥126 on confirmatory testing unless unequivocal hyperglycemia.

Ask your clinician to read this result with concurrent glucose, kidney function, and exogenous insulin use.

Diabetes may be diagnosed at ≥200 with classic symptoms or hyperglycemic crisis.

Normal <140; prediabetes 140-199; diabetes ≥200.

No universal reference or treatment target. Standardize fasting duration and collection time.

Renal threshold, SGLT2 inhibitors, pregnancy, and hyperglycemia matter.

Chromium is even more critical than zinc to the glucose transport by the insulin receptor on the cell surface. Intracellular Chromium deficiencies are fairly common in my practice. Again early lack of chromium causes reversible insulin re

Zinc is critical for Glucose Transport through the cell wall via the Insulin Receptor. If you have low intracellular zinc level (much more telling and accurate versus serum levels) then this transport does not occur. Early and milder is j

… cells stop responding to insulin they can’t easily take up glucose from your blood. As a result, the pancreas produces more insulin to force the cells to take up the glucose, until it eventually can’t keep up. Type 2 diabetes becomes more …
