Identify insulin resistance. Monitor the amount of insulin produced by the beta cells in the pancreas (endogenous); in this case, a C-peptide test may also be done. Insulin and C-peptide are produced by the body at the same rate as part of the conversion of proinsulin to insulin in the pancreas.
Insulin resistance results in a fasting blood glucose (sugar) level of 110 mg/dL or higher. There are often no other signs and symptoms of insulin resistance for years until complications occur. When there are symptoms, they can include excessive thirst, frequent urination (frequency) and fatigue. High blood pressure, also called hypertension is a consistent elevation of blood pressure.
