Yes insufficient insulin production will increase blood glucose levels
If your insulin level falls too low overnight, your blood glucose rises. The reasons for the drop in insulin vary from person to person, but it most commonly occurs when your insulin secretion provide too little basal back up hence the glucose levels shoots up.
Diabetes is detected by tests such as glucose fasting, glucose random and HBA1C.
Insulin resistance, also known as impaired insulin sensitivity, happens when cells in your muscles, fat and liver don't respond as they are immune to the cells.
Apart from regulating blood glucose levels it also helps store glucose in your liver, fat, and muscles. Finally, it regulates your body's metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
