7 months ago I had a TIA. I was diagnosed a 2 diabetic almost 10 years ago. I was taking glimiperide and 2,000 metformin a day and averaging a 175 glucose and a 7.5 A1c. In Febuary I went healthy keto and had a bunch of tests done last week. My A1C is now 5.6 off all diabetes meds and my insulin level was 3 after a 12 hour fast. My cortisol and CRP were also normal. I'm kicking myself for not doing a baseline in Feb but atleast I know things are good now. On a side note, since starting Keto my cardiologist took me off my heart and high blood pressure meds also. You are what you eat, eat healthy.

A comment : HOMA-IR normal population reference value is 1.7 to 2.5 ( Varies for every population and ethnic group.) The figure 405 in denominator of HOMA-IR, which corresponds to normal insulin resistance value i.e. 1, was obtained by a multiplication product of lowest possible glucose (63 mg%) and lowest possible insulin (6.43 microU/ml). Insulin assay is a very sensitive test. Reported insulin level values depend upon various factors, such as method and kit used, time elapsed between sample collection and testing etc. Standard laboratory with good sample load is desirable. The present reference values ( 2 - 24 ) were determined long ago when specific insulin assays were not available. The range needs to to be redefined, may be 6 - 10 is more realistic.

Thanks for your great video. Around 5 months ago I was suffering fatigue and pain in liver area, although I was not overweight and my diet wasn’t so bad I did an ultrasound and found I had some fatty liver. So in the last five months have done keto and got my bloods done. Do you think my results are good and given I am at the lower end of normal weight range, would you come off keto and have a low carb diet in order to put a few kg of weight on or just keep with keto and eat more fats (although this is making my LDL very very high)? 1). Triglycerides at 0.8mmol/L -or- 71mg/dL 2). Body fat % - 10-11% 3). Fasting insulin - 2.6mIU/L 4). Fasting glucose - 72mg/dl -or- 4.0mmol/L 5). HbA1c - 4.2% -or- 22mmol/mol 5). HOMA-IR - (72x2.6)/405 = 0.4622 6). Fasting Insulin Resistance Index = 0.4 7). HDL cholesterol: 2.5mmol/ -or- 97.67mg/dl 8). LDL cholesterol: 6.9mmol/L -or- 266mg/dl (must be due to the keto diet) Many thanks in advance and appreciate your kind help

Hi Dr. On lchf diet, fasting serum reduces greatly. How low that can go to and still safe not to get into hypoglycemia? I am on moderarely low carb (60 gm per day, high fat 90 to 100 gm) diet for last 3 months to reverse diabetes under doctor supervision. After 3 months, recently, I got 0.4 of fasting insulin (fasting glucose 110). and fasting c-peptide came to 1.33. My HbA1c reduced from 6.8 to 6.1. 3 months ago my HomaA2IR was 1.24%, fasting insulin 2.4 and fasting glucose 125). I am still taking 500 mg metformin twice a day. How do I interpret this and is there anything to be concerned about?

My fasting insulin is in uIU/mL, is this the same as mIU/mL?

Hi....i hv 5.8 on my Hb1AC, 87 fasting glucose ....i am curious about my insulin condition..if its low, fine, or IR....will blood test of fasting insulin and antibody enough? Because the lab here are confused when i ask about HOMA IR.. Thank you very much

Is insulin in the 1.5-2.6 range a sign of type 1 diabetes if fasting glucose is 97? Triglycerides also very low -47.

Hi, this sounds like type 1 diabetes, definitely get checked. Glucose 8.5 is pretty high.

​Hi Greta! How would you interpret this? When I was first diagnosed with PCOS, my fasting insulin was 12.1 mIU/mL and fasting glucose was 96. NOW, my fasting insulin is 6.3 μU/mL. Are these units the same? I checked online conversions but I'm still confused (milli vs micro). AND I STILL have all the symptoms of insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, and high testosterone so I am really surprised to see the insulin number go down. It's so confusing. Am I improving or am I worse as I see no change in symptoms? My current A1C is 5.2% and fasting glucose is 89.

Hi, you can read this article about interpreting your results. www.racgp.org.au/afp/2012/june/oral-glucose-tolerance-testing . Fasting glucose below 5.6 and insulin below 5 is considered good.

I'm curious how to interpret mine. I was first diagnosed with type 2 DM in July 2018 with 10.8 A1C and fasting glucose of 285. Was on seven medications for about two weeks including glimepiride and 3 metformin 500 a day. I was determined after those two weeks that I don't want to live with tons of meds. Switched to low carb through trial and error...and lost about 45 lbs in two years. Have been maintaining A1C of 5.1-5.4 since early 2019 till now with 5.3 as my latest A1c back in April 2021. All that with just eliminating white breads, added sugar, 90% fruits, pastas, potatoes and with a bit of help of one metformin 500 (extended release). I have only done fasting insulin test once...which was 7.1 (and fasting glucose at that time was 102). This was done in a lab vs my meter at home usually ranges around 80-90. Now by homa IR standard looks like I'm in the 'higher' part of early insulin resistance? The lab report says 'normal' range of insulin is 5-20....although another report says 3-20...I know I'm not on keto but if I understand this correctly...7.1 insulin is still "normal "as my body doesn't produce too much, but it's also not too little? (according to my doctor my body produces too little for my overweight body at that time when i was 45 lbs heavier). Maybe under different circumstances 7.1 is acceptable after eating, but maybe I should shoot for less than that for fasting? Hope I can do it!

You're having some great progress. Well done. You could further improve your insulin by going fully keto. Conventional doctors would count 7 as ok. However, this level can create health damaging effects. 2-5 is the true level you should be aiming. High insulin increases risk of heart disease, cancer, etc. You can easily bring your insulin down by going healthy clean keto and intermittent fasting 😊

@@AdvancedNutritionandHealth Thanks Greta for your reply! Will try to reduce it! I do agree with what you said about conventional doctors standard...for example, I was told a1c of 5.7 is 'acceptable' especially being 'diabetic' I feel offended by that like because I'm diabetic I can't have a normal a1c?? So I am proud to maintain my 5.3! I guess I was doing 'too well' with losing weight on low carb (not keto) at about 70-80 grams/day and after a while I had to just revise my meal plan cause I didn't want to lose weight anymore (I'm now 169cm and 69 kg weight (with just my underwear). I thought that 71-73kg was my 'perfect' weight but unfortunately i had hemmorhoid surgery in dec 2019 that made me lost weight to around 67kg since I couldn't eat much for about 2-3 months. Trying to add maybe about 1-2 kg of muscle so my morning weight would be around 71 but it's definitely hard to gain weight now!

What you said at 8'40'' is very important to me. If I understand correctly, reducing carbs or other measures such as intermittent fasting for example will reduce the level of insulin including the fasting insulin but while the body slowly becomes more insulin sensitive you can have some transient increases in blood sugar because you have lower level of insulin. And, after some healing happens, one should end up with improved glucose numbers as well. Did I get this right? Because many folks may think that low carb makes things worse

Cpeptide of 0.7ng/ml says just low on old labs and a vid scares me (mastering diabetis) saying below1 or 0.8 is bad. Feel much less stressed after watching your vid.

Just get a blood glucose monitor and check glucose readings in the morning and after meals. Is he very thirsty? Does he have any other diabetes symptoms? Continue limiting high sugar and high starch meals. Is he still in the normal weight range for his height, or is it getting abnormally low? Including bulletproof keto coffees and extra fat in a form of fat bombs or chocolate could help to keep the weight stable.

Hi, it seems that your insulin levels are too low. Insulin levels that are too low might indicate that there's something else going on in your body. Definitely get further tests done. Studies show that insulin levels below normal are linked with dementia.

Hello , firstly thank you for a very informative video . I would like to ask you , how you interpret my lab data . T2D for over 19 years started strict keto and than to low carbs didn't take a baseline before i started in April 2019.( Off all diabetic medications ) 10 Dec 2019 Fasting data Insulin -4.2 , BG 6.08 , Homa-IR -1.138 Hba1c -5.5 18 Mar 2020 Insulin -5.7 , BG 5.3 Homa-IR-1.346 Ha1c- 5.3 May 27 2021 Insulin 7.2 , BG 4.7 Homa-IR - 1.5080 Hba1c -5.4 Did a C Peptide 1.13ng Why is my fasting BG getting lower and my Fasting Insulin going higher and I am getting more Insulin resistance ? Can it because I switched from strict keto to low carbs diet by increasing carbs and protein and reducing fats ? ( BMI 19.4) Ps The lowest Hba1c i went down to was 4.9% - 22/July 2020 ; before I moved from strict keto to low carbs .( didn't test for the test ) Thanks

Hi, it sounds that introducing more carbs is causing more insulin and insulin resistance. have you tried healthy keto lifestyle where you get approximately 50 g of carbs a day. Going high fat, low carb, moderate protein is very important for reversing insulin resistance. Fat is the most neutral when it comes to blood glucose and insulin response 😊

@@AdvancedNutritionandHealth Firstly thank you for your reply . Yes actually was doing strict keto in the beginning and than i lost weight . When my weight was 6 kg below my "ideal weight " , I switched to low carbs . ( I didn't want to loose anymore weight ). From my test results you can see that my fasting blood glucose was much higher but lower insulin - when doing keto but even though i switched to low carb , ie increased carbs :- My fasting blood glucose is much lower but insulin is higher , this is what i don't understand ? ( I thought if my fasting blood glucose is lower shouldn't the insulin should be lower too ?)

Fasting insulin: 10.5 uIU/mL A1C: 5.1% C-Peptide: 1.88 ng/mL I can't lose weight on a consistent basis. Please help.

Hi, your insulin shows that your body struggles with too much carbs. Your glucose might be normal, but your body is making a lot of insulin to keep it low. You need to cut down on carbs, avoid snacking, and reduce your stress levels. Also, eat clean, all calories have different effects on your hormones. Check out my weight loss videos, I have a YT playlist.

Isnt 1.5 homa ir already way to high?

Hello! My fasting glucose level is 97 (reference value 74-109) But my insulin level is way too low, it's 0.4 (reference value 2.6-24.9) and HbA1c is 4% I don't know how to interpret this. I'm 24 and I eat extremely healthy and I exercise regularly. I'm not everweight. I've been on intermittent fasting for 3 months. Could you help me understand this correctly, please?

Your insulin is elevated. Try to cut down on snacking and reduce carbs, go for walks daily, eat more veggies. It will get better with time. For example, my insulin is 5 and my HOMA-IR is 0.9.

So I have higher than the normal morning sugars, sit at about 5.7, never after meals and they always go down after breakfast My fasting insulin is 22IU/mL and a1c was 5.3 My doctor refuses to diagnose me sith type 2.. as I have a psychiatric disorder that causes irrational fear and anger, im very high strung. He claims that can drive insulin up.. Thoughts?

Hi, what is your diet? What do you eat? What medicine are you taking? Is your fasting blood sugar 5.7 mmol/l all the time? 5.3% HbA1c indicates that you're not diabetic. But very high insulin shows you're insulin resistant/prediabetic. Your body works very hard to keep blood glucose low.
