[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1787772, member: 196898"] Not necessarily. BGL levels can be dropped by (1) retricting intake by diet, (2) blocking absorbtion, (3) using up by burning energy, (4) moving out of blood into cell storage. Insulin is only really required by (3) and (4) but an insulin response is triggered by (1) and (2) and these cause the increase in insulin levels, but in T2D then insulin resistance can negate the effects of (3) and (4) so low fasting bgl does not always equate to low insulin levels. I note that during some of the better in vivo studies, they use something called an insulin clamp to measure insulin levels, but this is a lab only technique that is expensive to do.
