Yes, my fasting Insulin was '4' and it was high on the 1 hr & 2 hr. Something to think about, your various levels could show up as 'normal' on a test, but there could be a problem with the way your body is utilizing them because of the hormone imbalance, that may be why Met helps women with PCOS who seem to be 'normal' when it comes to IR.
