A member asked:
Diag w/ reactive hypoglycemia years ago. just had a fasting insulin number of 8 (9-29 range) what does this mean? strong family diabetes. i'm small

Doesn't mean much: Independent of a concomitant glucose an Insulin level doesn't mean much. If blood sugar is high, low, or normal with an Insulin level of 8 uu/ml, the interpretation is completely different.
