Elevated insulin levels are seen with:
1. Acromegaly
2. Cushing's syndrome
3. Drugs such as corticosteroids, levodopa, oral contraceptives
4. Fructose or galactose intolerance
5. Insulinomas
6. Obesity
7. Insulin resistance, such as appears in early type 2 diabetes
Your doctor should do further testing to determine what the exact cause may be.

It means there is a lot of insulin in the body. The more important level would be C-peptide. Insulin begins as a precursor which gets cleaved. The result is insulin and C-peptide. C-peptide is measurable. If insulin is high and c-peptide is low, then it indicates an exogenous source for the insulin (ie, injected)

If you have a high blood sugar level, it means that the insulin is not transporting the sugar to where it needs to go. Due to the insulin hormone not working properly, you may have high blood sugar levels which may cause diabetes.
