[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1686093, member: 327005"] I did quite a lot of research into this area. basically above 8 is an indication of potential diabetes , so as on average the population is over 8, then on average the population has a tendency to be diabetic - which is hardly news. It also seems from a trial that Prof Tim Noakes is working on ( that I am part of) that fasting insulin levels reduce over time through following an LCHF lifstyle. Prof Noakes himself is on record as saying that in his twenties whilst running marathons he had a fasting insulin score of 40 indicating that he was already severely carb intolerant and he had not appreciated its significance at the time. I also saw some research ( which I think related to T1 and Dr Bernstein,) where the concept was that the lower the AUC ( area under the curve) your insulin usage was, then the longer longevity - ie there are people with T1 diabetes who achieve a great age, and generally this correlates with less insulin usage - so the more tightly controlled diet is to reduce the need for insulin the longer the life span. the concept being that if you do not have to use/ make insulin to deal with glucose spikes then that creates the lowest AUC possible. I think if you look up Dr Mercola on the subject he also says somewhere that he believe that those who use the least insulin cumulatively over their life spans also achieve the most longevity.
