Very High Fasting Insulin Level - Possible Diabetes?
I recently had a serum fasting insulin test. The results showed a very high level of 227 uIU/ML or converted to 1555 pmol/l. I know the maximum should be less than 17 uIU/ML. Does this test indicate diabetes or simply insulin resistance. My glucose level was 101.
Thanks very much!

Wow! that is very high. I am not a Doctor but it sounds like to me you may be a Diabetic. Do you have access to a diabetic monitor? If you do, you should try checking your bg's after each meal and fasting. Did you Doctor tell you what the results mean?
