What does a high insulin value mean?

High insulin values suggest insulin resistance, which is mostly seen in overweight or obese people. This is because insulin exerts its effect mainly on the liver, fat cells, muscle tissue, etc. When the fat accumulation in the organs is more obvious, it is difficult for the general level of insulin to play the role of lowering blood sugar, and the body can only secrete more insulin to achieve the purpose of blood sugar control, thus leading to an increase in insulin level, so it is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a very important mechanism in the development of type 2 diabetes, not necessarily because of insulin resistance, but some patients with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance. Insulin resistance itself can also cause abnormal glucose tolerance, leaving the patient in a pre-diabetic state.
