  Optimal ranges

  Posted by Bahareh on March 23, 2023 at 3:04 pm

  Hi B, hi Daniel

  Can you please confirm optimal ranges for:
  – Fasting Insulin in uU/ml ?

  – Hemoglobin A1C <4.5% ?

  I was trying to use unitslab.com to convert because I seem to have to American units and the labs here use the above units. But somehow I was not successful …. Thank you

  Hey ,

  The typical reference range for insulin is between 2 and 25 uIU/ml. The ideal reference range is between 2-6 uIU/ml.

  For HbA1c I personally use an ideal reference range between 4.5 and 5.2. Above 5.2 is indicative of some insulin resistance. Levels 5.7% and higher and usually diagnostic for physicians of pre-diabetes.

  There is some variation between labs, don’t be surprised if the reference ranges sometimes look slightly different!
