Default Insulin Levels & Being Overweight

Does being overweight effect your insulin levels?
I have never had a insulin problem before but for the last few months it has been reading 104 to 130 and my doctor now has me checking it every day for a few weeks and report back to him with the readings. Am I becoming a diabetic?
The last week though it has been anywhere from 92 to 97 which I feel is good.

Do any of you have to moniter your insulin and what does yours run?

I've never heard of home testing insulin levels. Are you sure you're not doing blood glucose monitoring?

The more I have weighed the more my blood sugar goes up. That is one of the reasons i KNEW i had to start this woe again. I have fatty liver also and that doesnt help the body use fat efficiently so I'm hoping with Fat loss my liver will get better which will help keep BS level when eventually eating more good carbs.
