A member asked:
Fasting insulin is 30uu even after metformin 1000-not diabetic. -random insulin was 55uu. doc says its insulin resistance.can it be insulinoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Insulinoma is exceedingly rare. High insulin levels alone do not point to insulinoma. High insulin AND low blood sugar at the same time is a better sign. The workup is complicated and should be work up by a physician.
