Most folks and most doctors don`t realize that one can have normal fasting blood glucose levels, yet they will have very high fasting insulin levels. These folks are T2 diabetics, only undiagnosed. Most doctors NEVER even think of measuring fasting insulin levels, they only measure your fasting blood glucose. One can have very elevated insulin levels for many years before the "official" diagnoses of T2 diabetes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and doctors only cons ... ider you as a diabetic after you have a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or higher, with an A1C of 6.5% or higher. I have read many studies were one had normal fasting blood glucose levels of 90 mg/dl, yet they had fasting insulin levels of 90 units of insulin. A normal fasting insulin level is between 3-8 units of insulin. Most doctors and labs today consider a fasting insulin level of 20-30 units of insulin to be normal, because 99% of todays population eats a very high carbohydrate diet, so yes in this situation you will most definitely have higher fasting "Normal" insulin levels. The sad part about this scenario is that by the time most folks are diagnosed as T2 diabetics, they have lost lots of beta cell function in their pancreases. And constant high insulin has done its dirty work in the background for many years causing great damage inside your body. Fatty liver and fatty pancreas always precedes the diagnoses of T2 diabetes. These folks have fatty liver and fatty pancreas, and don`t even realize it. There is a very loud scream from the liver and pancreas, before the official diagnoses of T2 diabetes.
