Fasting Insulin Optimization

Meaning

The clinical process of achieving and maintaining fasting insulin levels within a narrow, physiologically ideal range, which is often significantly lower than the upper limits of standard laboratory reference ranges. Optimal fasting insulin reflects high cellular sensitivity to the hormone and minimal pancreatic overcompensation, indicating superior metabolic health and a reduced risk of insulin resistance. This optimization is a key therapeutic target for longevity and hormonal balance.
