A member asked:

What are the optimal levels for fasting free & total insulin for someone without diabetes?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Normal insulin level: Normal fasting insulin level is less than 25mlU/L. Insulin levels normally rise after meals in order to prevent prolonged hyperglycemia. High fasting insulin levels cause hypoglycemia.
