Low insulin levels

2019-08-01 15:22:43
I'm 28 years old female. In my recent tests my insulin level (f) is 1.6 and PP is 6.9 My sugar levels are normal. I was/am suffering from gastritis due to which my food intake lessened and I lost around 7-8kgs. I'm still recovering from it. Can this cause low insulin? How to get insulin back to normal?
