Episode notes
Signs of Insulin Resistance
- Noticeable signs of insulin resistance include weight gain, high blood pressure, skin tags, and ankle swelling.
- These common symptoms often get normalized due to the widespread prevalence of metabolic issues.
Early Insulin Resistance Markers
- Cystic acne, especially during puberty, can be an early sign of elevated insulin.
- Weight in high school can be a valuable benchmark for assessing long-term insulin resistance.
Monitor Blood Glucose and Ketones
- Don't rely solely on blood glucose; track insulin too, which can become problematic long before glucose levels show it.
- Regularly check blood glucose and ketones for an accurate view of your metabolic health.
