What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is a crucial concept in managing diabetes, but it's often misunderstood. Many people rely on the wrong medical tests to determine their insulin resistance status, which can lead to inaccurate results and misguided treatment. In this episode, we'll explore what insulin resistance really means, what it doesn't mean, and how it can be accurately assessed. We'll also explain why relying on standard blood sugar and A1C tests can be misleading and why it's important to use appropriate medical tests to evaluate insulin resistance. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear understanding of insulin resistance and how it relates to diabetes management. Your go-to diabetes guru, Asunta Simoloka.
