My insulin fasting shows very high level

2017-08-05 16:22:47
Dear Sir, I am folowwing paleo diet for the past two months. After following paleo my sugar level came down from HbA1c 7.9 to 6.9. But my fasting insulin level shows 85 mU/L the reference vault is 2 to 6. This is very high compared to reference value. Is it really possible to have such a high value.

1) Patients of diabetes have high insulin resistance which causes high levels of insulin. 2) Insulin assay is not reliable and you will get varying values when done from different labs or at different times. 3) Insulin levels are not needed for managing diabetes patients.
