What does a low result mean?

A modest fasting reading is typical in athletic, lean individuals with outstanding baseline insulin sensitivity.

What does a high result mean?

A slightly elevated number indicates the pancreas is actively producing insulin, highly responsive to exercise and lower sugar intake.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does this confirm healthy natural secretory reserves in my pancreas?
  • How does this harmonize with my fasting insulin and glucose?
  • What nutritional habits best support relaxed pancreatic workload?
