Pittsburg, Kansas | Have you had a HbA1c blood glucose test? It measures the average glucose level over the preceding 3 months.
If you are in the low 5's, you are probably insulin sensative. If the upper 5's or above, you probably have some insulin resistance.
If you haven't, best to see a doctor, do a blood draw, and see where you stand. Do your own research on the results. Doctors often just look to see if you are in established range. Established ranges can be based on an increasingly sick population and not really "optimum". Insulin is one of those metrics. But you will have to ask for that test specifically because it is not part of a standard panel.
