A doctor has provided 1 answer

Insulin levels: Insulin levels are related to your blood sugar levels you should always use it in reference to glucose values if your glucose is high and the Insulin low then it could suggest diabetes in a fasting state Insulin levels could be very low diabetes should only be diagnosed if u have high blood glucose.
