[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 2103658, member: 216415"] I am not sure how you measure optimal insulin level as it varies continuously to cope with demand. If you mean a low fasting level, then that, and HOMA-IR, represent the static balance between the liver releasing glucose and the pancreas releasing insulin. Insulin resistance also occurs in the muscles and other tissue and while the fasting condition may be ok that does not mean that there is not a problem when there is a large increase in glucose from eating. Also some Type 2's just don't produce enough insulin, or quickly enough, to cope with a sudden increase of glucose, if they are fasting then there wouldn't be any sudden increase to deal with.
