brbangle- i'm not sure about the low fasting insulin level, I haven't had a test done for that. But insulin levels (I would think) would be high if you are ir, as your body secretes more insulin because the body is not responding properly to insulin. (does that make sense..?!)
Ummm, all I know is that I had a high fasting glucose level, so they then wanted to see how I responded to glucose, so I did a glucose tolerance test, where they take blood at intervals after you drink a glucose drink. I think when my tests came back, it was high after the first hour, then even higher after the 2nd hour, but I don;t think they looked at the insulin level, although thinking about it, that would be what was high possibly? Sorry, I am not much help on this one, but I will have a look in my little pcos book to see if it sheds any light!! (Believe me, I don't claim to be an expert, I am just going by what I am learning along the way!)
