The fasting insulin test – not to be confused with the fasting glucose test – is one of the most accurate tests available to detect a trend toward pre-diabetes. We call it the “pre-pre-diabetes test” because it measures your insulin levels, which typically become imbalanced long before glucose or HbA1C levels.
What is the optimal fasting insulin level?
The optimum fasting insulin levels are less than 8 (or even better, around 4 or 5).This means you’re not creating a high insulin demand. Your body is producing insulin at optimal levels.
Can fasting insulin predict death?
Joseph Mercola says fasting insulin is “the number that may best predict your sudden death.” Sounds important. But what does it mean?
