Understanding insulin resistance

Insulin resistance is a complex metabolic condition associated with an increased risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. On this episode of On Nutrition, registered dietitian Dr. Ali Chappell discusses how food and lifestyle can affect insulin sensitivity, common nutrition myths, and why people with PMOS may be more likely to experience insulin resistance. Disclaimer: Insulin resistance does not have a single routine clinical test, and insulin-level testing is not routinely recommended to screen for prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. This episode discusses emerging areas of research.
