Just one more thing to keep in mind: the insulin levels listed as normal on the lab report is considered way too high for determining insulin resistance in us. Most labs have an upper level of 25 - 30 uIU/ml but many endocrinologists consider anything above 10 to be too high for a fasting level.

Something else to think about, the high lipid levels can be caused by insulin resistance. Increased LDL and triglyceride levels are common with us. I have had success in lowering my by using Glucophage and eating a low carb diet (yep, meat!)
