Your information is consistent with insulin resistance. not low insulin. If you are even slightly overweight, losing weight is imperative, as is increasing your physical activity/exercise. It could be considered that you have pre-diabetes and it would be prudent to see a doctor for long term management. For info: https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/basics/prediabetes.html
