Normal Sugar… But Are You Insulin Resistant? | 10 Hidden Clues & Tests Most Doctors Use

🩺 Is your blood sugar normal… but could you still have insulin resistance? Many people believe that a normal fasting glucose or HbA1c means their metabolism is perfectly healthy. But that’s not always true. In this second episode of the HG Cardiowise Insulin Resistance Series, I explain how doctors actually suspect insulin resistance—often years before diabetes develops. We’ll discuss: ✅ Waist circumference and visceral fat ✅ Blood pressure and insulin resistance ✅ Triglycerides, HDL & the TG/HDL ratio ✅ Fatty liver and why normal liver enzymes don’t always rule it out ✅ Fasting insulin ✅ HOMA-IR ✅ Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) ✅ Skin signs like acanthosis nigricans & skin tags ✅ PCOS ✅ Sleep apnea ✅ Family history Most importantly, you’ll learn how doctors connect all these clues together instead of relying on a single blood test. 🎥 Watch the complete Insulin Resistance Series ▶️ Part 1 Normal Sugar… But Still Insulin Resistant?
