Can you have insulin resistance even when your blood sugar looks normal? Yes, and it is one of the most commonly missed problems in medicine. In this video, Dr. John Bartemus explains why normal glucose does not rule out insulin resistance, and which tests actually catch it early.
In this video you'll learn:
Why your blood sugar can stay normal for years while insulin resistance is already developing.
The reason a standard fasting glucose or A1c often misses it, and the markers that reveal it sooner (like fasting insulin, c-peptide).
The early signs and symptoms worth paying attention to.
Why catching insulin resistance early gives you the best chance to reverse it.
What to ask for so this does not get overlooked.
Dr. John Bartemus, DC, CFMP, is a functional medicine practitioner and Amazon international number one best-selling author who helps people address the root causes of chronic and autoimmune conditions through Functional Medicine, Functional Neurology, and Functional Immunology.
