Can you have too much insulin in your blood ,but not be a diabetic ?

Question

My Mom said her doctor told her she has too much insulin in her blood, but she does not have diabetes. Does anyone know anything about this? She had a 3 hour GTT and her level was 57. I have never heard anything like this before. I think she needs to see a doctor that deals with diabetes, but she sees no need to go to someone else. Please if anyone can even give me a little bit of information I would be Thankful. She is one of those people in less she sees it in print she does not believe it .

Answer 1

Found some info for you:

Too much insulin in your blood is call hyperinsulinemia. It's not diabetes but it often is associated with type II diabetes.

Insulin is produced by your pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar. Hyperinsulinemia is a sign of an underlying problem that is causing your pancreas to secrete excessive amounts of insulin.

A common cause of hyperinsulinemia is insulin resistance, a condition in which your body is resistant to the effects of insulin and your pancreas tries to compensate by making more insulin.

Rarely, hyperinsulinemia is caused by:

A tumor of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (insulinoma)
Excessive numbers of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas (nesidioblastosis)
Hyperinsulinemia causes no signs or symptoms unless it causes low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Treatment of hyperinsulinemia is directed at the underlying problem.

Answer 7

High levels of sugar in the blood cause diabetes, because you do not make enough insulin to deal with the sugar so the sugar gets high. Not sure if having too much insulin is a serious problem?

Answer 8

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

First of all,diabetes is when you DON'T have enough insulin! Too much is totally different. Leave it to you Mom and her Dr. to know what is best.
