Oh wow, now that is so low!!
Is that your level?
Yes, I'm kind of considering it to be perhaps too low with an HbA1c of 4.6.
Wouldn’t VLC diets produce a low fasting insulin level irregardless of insulin sensitivity?I am incredibly jealous! What sort of diet/lifestyle do you follow?

low protein means ice cold hands
Not concerned at all. I was having loads of starch and ate a lot the night before the bloods, we’re talking 3 large potatoes and other tubers at 9-10pm... not smart. Plus I’m back to high fruit now. This in and of itself is going to keep insulin right back below 6 imo since fructose triggers insulin much less than pure glucose.
<6 is optimal by the way, or rather 4-5 - that’s what Dave Attia also says. So 7 is okay.
Keep in mind most studies have “healthy” subjects with double digits numbers. Look at the HOMA-IR cutoffs, some of them are so high by my standards; I wouldn’t go neurotic.
sugar times insulin is below 22,
According to that, they say:yep. Look up "HOMA-IR"
22.5 is considered the absolute standard reference

edit: a score of 31 is the lowest quartile in the US apparently

What’s wrong with 22.5 as a reference score?
