“If your [fasting] insulin levels are on the low end (lower than around 6 microunits/milliliter or 41 picomoles/liter), it's a safe assumption that you're doing quite well and your insulin sensitivity is strong. You are either already adhering to smart lifestyle choices or you are young enough to get away with bad choices for now. If your insulin levels are moderately elevated (7-17 microunits/milliliter or 48 to 118 picomoles/liter), you should start making changes, particularly with the food you eat and how frequently you're eating. In the event your insulin is high (greater than 18 microunits/milliliter or 125 per picomoles/liter), you need to make changes today.”
