Low fasting insulin with fasting glucose around 120 mg/dL implies a different metabolic state than high fasting insulin at the same glucose level. Fasting glucose alone is a poor measure of low-carb or ketogenic intervention success in previously insulin-resistant people. HbA1c reflects average blood glucose over roughly three months. HOMA-IR uses fasting glucose and fasting insulin together to measure insulin sensitivity. Sustained fat loss with improving HbA1c and HOMA-IR indicates systemic success of the intervention.
