Re: What does a low insulin level mean?

Judy, I did a search and dug up a few posts by Doreen on the subject of fasting insulin levles and what is 'normal' and what that means.
Do on Insulin Levels (from Dr. Bernstein)
Fasting Insulin and Blood Sugar
Since Do took some of her info from Dr. B I've included a link to his website - you might find some info there.
Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution - Some of his book is included on the site; chapter 3 should be of particular interest: " Blood Sugars: The Nondiabetic Versus the Diabetic"
Best of luck,
