What I don't understand is that when they tested my daughter's fasting insulin level it was low-normal. Shouldn't it have been high. She had been eating a high number of carbs for 2-3 days before the test. When she had a bad headache on evening I checked her blood sugar and it was 110. At the doctors it was 98. Should she have a gtt or what tests?

So far she is not really over weight and her periods are regular and she doesn't have much cramps or heavy bleeding.


98 fasting? That's highish, certainly for a 15 year old. 100 to 125 is pre-diabetic.
