In this video, I will talk about insulin levels. I talk about the different tests you can do to test your insulin levels. I discuss what is a normal insulin level vs insulin resistance and how to interpret your insulin test results. I also share 2 studies: One of them looked at how insulin levels change throughout the day and the other one looked at how different diets affect insulin levels.

Make sure you watch this video until the end so that you would get a bigger picture of what is a normal insulin level and how to keep your insulin low.

Having too much insulin over time, results in insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a state where cells in your body refuse to let glucose in to be used as fuel. The amount of sugar or glucose in our blood should always be around 100 mg/dL. It is equivalent to around 1 teaspoon of glucose in your blood. 1 teaspoon in 5 litres of blood.


How do you test your insulin levels?

You can test either your fasting insulin levels, your Cpeptide levels, or your HOMAIR.


How to interpret your insulin results? And how to know if you are insulin resistant or not?

That’s a normal range:
FG (Fasting Glucose) 70100 mg/dL or 3.9 to 5.6 mmol/L
A1c Less than 5.7
FI (Fasting Insulin) 2 – 5 mIU/ml
Less than 5 mIU/ml – normal
Less than 3 mIU/ml – ideal
HOMAIR 0.51.5


You can convert different units using an online converter:

How to interpret HOMAIR scores?
Healthy Range: 1.0 (0.5–1.5)
More than 1.5 indicates early insulin resistance
More than 2.9 indicates significant insulin resistance


HOMAIR test measures how hard your body has to work to keep your blood sugars at normal levels.


How to interpret fasting insulin results?
Up to 5 is normal.
More than 5 – you are insulin resistant
If your result is 10 or more, you have a high level of insulin resistance


And how to interpret Cpeptide test results?
The normal range for a cpeptide test is: 0.51 to 2.72 ng/mL
This may also be expressed as: 0.170.90 nmol/L


How your insulin levels change throughout the day?
Check out this study (you can download the PDF):

And here’s another study that looked at how different diets affect insulin. It compared the high carbohydrate diet, low in saturated fat, and the low carbohydrate diet, high in saturated fat. The low carbohydrate, high fat diet resulted in much lower insulin concentrations.

Now, you should have a better picture of how insulin works, how to keep it low, and how to interpret your insulin test results. If you are insulin resistant, I have another video you should watch. It’s called
– How to reverse insulin resistance.
