Additionally, the USDA says the thighs and wings of poultry should be cooked until the juices run clear.. Some people say the government, with all its lawyers and bureaucrats, errs on the side of caution at the expense of flavor, and that some meats taste much better cooked 5Â° to 10Â° lower.
If high levels (7.5 mg/min or higher) are required, the patient is insulin-sensitive. Very low levels (4.0 mg/min or lower) indicate that the body is resistant to insulin action. Levels between 4.0 and 7.5 mg/min are not definitive, and suggest impaired glucose tolerance, an early sign of insulin resistance.
High plasma levels of insulin and glucose due to insulin resistance are a major component of the metabolic syndrome. If insulin resistance exists, more insulin needs to be secreted by the pancreas. If this compensatory increase does not occur, blood glucose concentrations increase and type 2 diabetes or latent autoimmune diabetes of adults occurs.
