High insulin with normal sugar can be an early sign of insulin resistance, which often comes with weight around the waist and polycystic ovaries.
Your doctor calculates the HOMA-IR index from insulin and fasting sugar in the same sample and uses it to plan diet and treatment.
Preparation before the test
- Fast at least 8 hours (water only).
- Done together with a fasting sugar test.
