Physiological Reference Ranges
The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.
2.6 – 24.9 µUI/mL

What does a low result mean?
A low fasting level is common in highly athletic individuals or those following low-carbohydrate nutritional diets.
What does a high result mean?
A higher fasting insulin level often reflects compensatory pancreatic output, signaling reversible insulin sensitivity changes.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Does this value correspond well with my fasting glucose?
- Is a HOMA-IR calculation meaningful for my assessment?
- What forms of physical activity best enhance cellular insulin sensitivity?
Do you have a full blood test report?
