A member asked:
I had a fasting insulin level done and it was low 1.5 is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: in the context of fasting, I'm doubtful that insulin has to be there at all. High levels would imply either a start of type II diabetes or uncontrolled insulin secretion from an insulin secreting tumor (non-cancerous moslty).
