Insulin resistance + pre-diabetes
Rising insulin before glucose ever moves. Catching it here is where you actually change the trajectory.
Overview
Fasting insulin often rises years before HbA1c crosses into pre-diabetic range. We test for it and address it early.
What we look at
Signals, not guesses.
- Fasting insulin
- HbA1c
- Fasting glucose
- ApoB, hsCRP
How we approach it
The workflow.
- 01Comprehensive metabolic labs at intake.
- 02Nutrition + activity guidance.
- 03Medication if clinically indicated — including GLP-1s where appropriate.
