Understanding Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is the root cause of most metabolic diseases including Type 2 diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver, and obesity. When your cells stop responding to insulin, your pancreas produces more, leading to high insulin levels that drive weight gain and metabolic damage.
How We Treat Insulin Resistance
- CGMS Monitoring: Track your glucose response to foods and identify patterns of insulin resistance.
- HOMA-IR Testing: Precise measurement of your insulin resistance level.
- Targeted Nutrition: Low-glycemic eating plans that reduce insulin spikes.
- Medical Therapy: Medications like Metformin and newer agents that improve insulin sensitivity.
Signs of Insulin Resistance
Common signs include weight gain around the abdomen, sugar cravings, fatigue after meals, dark patches on the skin (acanthosis nigricans), and high triglyceride levels. If you have these symptoms, insulin resistance testing at CDC can provide answers.
