Christina,
>From all of my research, fasting blood sugar should be less than 110,
after 1 hr less than 200, after 2 hrs less than 150, and after 3 hrs
less than 110 again.
The fasting insulin levels should be less than 10, after 1 hr less than
90, after 2 hrs less than 50. I didn't find any standards for the 3 hr
level.
Which again, is why I was so surprised by the insulin levels!

P.S. - I believe the low end for fasting blood sugar is 70. 52 sounds
low!
