@dr.alichappell: What if your A1C is normal… but your insulin isn't? 👇🏻 That's exactly what can make insulin resistance so easy to overlook. Your body may produce increasingly high levels of insulin to keep blood glucose within a normal range. From the outside, your glucose and A1C can still look reassuring. Meanwhile, you may be struggling with symptoms and wondering why your labs keep coming back “normal.” This patient had a fasting insulin of 67.5 µIU/mL and was still reassured because her A1C was okay. We need to stop thinking about metabolic health only in terms of whether someone already has abnormal blood sugar. Patients deserve to understand what is happening before they develop disease. That's preventative healthcare. 💙 Learn more at Insara.com #PMOS #PCOS #InsulinResistance #FastingInsulin #MetabolicHealth
