As long as blood sugar is controlled (check with Hb1Ac test) and cancer is thoroughly excluded (not just pancreatic, other ones can cause this too), higher than typical insulin should be no real problem...

However, we'd been investigating any reason why we've lost seven pregnancies to stillbirth and miscarriage, and there's some studies indicating that lower insulin leads to better outcomes. That's why we had been trying to get it as low as possible. At this point, though, it's not clear whether or not that was even a factor.
