[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2046773, member: 219467"] To be honest think fasting insulin is measured so rarely that no-one really knows what a "healthy" level would be. I also think it will be volatile during the day depending on what we have eaten the day before timing of eating etc just like blood glucose. I'd guess that the longer you have fasted beforehand the lower your level would be. On the three occasions mine has been measured the lowest was from blood taken at 11.30 am. When I've had it taken earlier in the morning between 8 and 9 am its been higher even though I was further down the keto route. [/QUOTE]
