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.
Low insulin levels cause the release of glucose while more insulin inhibits glucose production by telling the liver to store glucose as glycogen. 3,5 The importance of insulin for maintaining blood glucose levels is mainly due to this effect on liver storage and release.
