In reply to: A: "Re: GTT results" Insulin levels should always be between undetectable usually in a fasting state) and 5 - 25 uU/ml (35 to 145 pmol/L in Europe) Fasting levels for Glucose is less than 120 mg/dl (< 6.7 mmol/L). Normally the fasting level is around 80. Between 30 min to 1 hour after the glucose solution (sugar drink), levels should peak at 160 - 180 mg/dl (8.9 - 10.0 mmol/L) Glucose should return to fasting levels in 2 to 3 hours. More important than the numbers though is the correlation between the insulin and glucose levels.
