In Dr Mercola's "No-Grain Diet" book, there is a section where he recommends
certain tests, two of which are the fasting insulin and fasting glucose.  So I
went in for my routine check-up and just had the doctor add those two tests
when writing the orders for the bloodwork.  He gladly added them with no
hesitation.
In Mercola's book he notes that a fasting insulin level under 5.0 is very
good....I have been converting to paleo eating over the past 10 months...my
insulin is 2.2
