Another important fact is when the insulin is balanced the pancreas produces insulin's partner hormone, glucagon which enhances lipolysis, the fat burning process we call ketosis. It also maintains arterial health among other things.

Everyone, the body must produce insulin or we would die, make no mistake. However, it is important that there is not an over-production of insulin because it throws other bodily functions out of wack which may result in high cholesterol, heart disease etc. We want insulin to be normal/balanced for a healthy lifestyle.
