Episode notes
ApoB Management Strategy
- For elevated ApoB, assess triglycerides, metabolic health markers, cholesterol synthesis/absorption markers, and saturated fat intake.
- This helps determine the right approach: dietary changes, addressing insulin resistance, or medication.
Triglycerides and Insulin Resistance
- Triglycerides alone are not a reliable indicator of insulin resistance.
- Certain ethnic groups, like African Americans, may not exhibit elevated triglycerides even with insulin resistance.
Optimal Fasting Insulin and Glucose
- Aim for fasting insulin below 6 and fasting glucose below 90.
- Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) offers a more comprehensive view of glycemic control, including postprandial responses.
