Hi, It's enough if you understand that your body continuously produces insulin and the amount changes with diet and other activities. Fasting insulin is high - indicates that your body is not able to manage with normal amount of insulin and is overworking for the same load . It is an indicator of increasing risk of metabolic issues. To understand in detail and to address any other concerns please meet your doctor.
