Elevated insulin levels not accompanied by a decrease in blood glucose are found in various non-endocrine pathologies. An increase in basal insulin has been detected in psoriasis, as well as in children with chronic lung disease. In atherosclerosis, hyperinsulinemia is detected both on an empty stomach and during glucose tolerance test (GTT), which, combined with dyslipoproteinemia, increases the risk of coronary heart disease.
