Are very low insulin levels bad if you have normal fasting glucose levels?

Question

I had a fasting glucose and insulin levels checked recently. My glucose levels were normal under 90 mg/dL but my insulin levels were super low. On average my insulin levels were under 3 uU/mL. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Answer 1

ok heres the deal, high fasting insulin levels signify a problem, they should also be high after a meal, normal or low fasting insulin would suggest to me not a problem. If they were low and fasting sugars were high, then you would be looking at insulin dependant diabetes, so there are tens of scenarios and different interprettations, let your doctor explain what exactly he/she was looking for and what these results mean, good luck
