Default Fasting insulin too low??

Does anyone know the normal ranges for fasting insulin. Many sources I look at say that 5-10 is normal fasting insulin. I got some lab work done recently and my fasting insulin was 4. I just can't find anything about insulin levels that are low...everything I read is about high insulin levels.

As long as your glucose levels were normal with the low insulin, there's nothing to worry about. If your glucose levels were sky high and your insulin was low, that would create some concern that your pancreas was unable to produce adequate insulin (type I diabetes), but your doctor would definitely have said something, as high blood sugar would definitely get some attention. In other words, I wouldn't worry!

After soy, Femara, Follistim, an ectopic pregnancy, and IVF, FINALLY BFP 8/08 -- twins -- but lost baby B somewhere between 6 and 8 weeks. Hoping for a healthy singleton birth...
