 '''Hyperinsulinemia''' is a condition in which there are excess levels of [[insulin]] circulating in the blood relative to the level of [[glucose]]. While it is often mistaken for [[diabetes]] or [[hyperglycaemia]], hyperinsulinemia can result from a variety of metabolic diseases and conditions. While hyperinsulinemia is often seen in people with early stage type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is not the cause of the condition and is only one symptom of the disease.
 ==Causes==
 Hyperinsulinemia is often associated with [[type 2 diabetes]], [[obesity]], [[metabolic syndrome]], and other diseases characterized by insulin resistance. It can also be caused by insulinomas, rare tumors of the [[pancreas]] that produce an excess of insulin. Other causes can include [[congenital hyperinsulinism]], which is a genetic disorder in which the insulin cells in the pancreas are abnormal and can secrete insulin uncontrollably.
 ==Symptoms==
 The symptoms of hyperinsulinemia are similar to those of other metabolic disorders, including fatigue, hunger, and difficulty concentrating. In severe cases, hyperinsulinemia can lead to [[hypoglycemia]], a condition characterized by low blood sugar levels. This can cause symptoms such as sweating, trembling, and even seizures or loss of consciousness if not treated promptly.
 ==Diagnosis==
 Hyperinsulinemia can be diagnosed through a variety of tests. These can include fasting insulin levels, glucose tolerance tests, and even specialized imaging tests to identify insulinomas or other abnormalities of the pancreas.
 ==Treatment==
 The treatment for hyperinsulinemia typically involves lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise to improve insulin sensitivity. In some cases, medication may be necessary to control insulin levels. If an insulinoma is the cause, surgery may be required to remove the tumor.
