Insulin units in India is milli IU/L ( or micro IU/ml)
Spoke to endocrinologist and he said your insulin levels are low. He prescribed vitamin tablets. So am a bit concerned even though they look like normal values.
I read that insulin levels keep falling as the time progresses and glucose reading climb up.
Got HBA1C (5.9%) in 2019 when I was gaining a lot of weight (though I look slim) with lot of belly fat.
I have pcos (detected in 2004 via ultra sound) and hirusitm (on chin area particularly)
I have a strong family history of diabetes. Mother has been a diabetic since 1996 with MI in 2006 end stage renal failure now. Father is also a diabetic now. I advise him to take low carb ,avoid sweets/junk food .
Good fasting insulin is 4 units or less. around 10 units is insulin resistance. I got that info from Kraft study.
"Your lower fasting insulin levels in later years make sense if you've lowered your carb intake: your body didn't need to produce more insulin than it did, as proven by your hba1c results. This is not a sign of beta cell damage" --------Yes, True.
Suprisingly, my fasting blood sugar range has always been 83mg/dl - 95mg/dl since 2006. Never crossed 100mg/dl.
In 2019 (not doing low carb thing then) fasting insulin levels - 6.57 mIU/L and FBS = 92mg/dl on 1/10/19
Post prandial (1.5 hours) Insulin = 41.5mIU/L and PP sugar = 114mgdl on 1/10/2019
Another day (2/11/2019) = fasting insulin = 5.29mIU/L , FBS = 82.1mg/dl
In 2019 , I was tolerating more carbs.
When I ate carbs (50g) of rice in 2020(september) sugar levels rose to 165mg/dl after one hour or so. I got that info from libre pro CGM.
Another day I ate rice (50g) and chips, it went upto 180mg/dl after 1.5 hours.
In 2021, 2022 - I was feeling frequently hungry even after eating esp after eating carbs(about 40g)
I eliminated rice, roti in 2022 April and my frequent hunger thing came under control.
