@sean_fnp: Did you know your fasting insulin might be telling you more than your blood sugar ever could? Most people check their fasting glucose or A1C—but miss this critical marker. Fasting insulin is one of the earliest signs of metabolic dysfunction. You can have “normal” blood sugar while your insulin is working overtime behind the scenes… That’s early insulin resistance. Unfortunately, the normal lab range is way too generous—some labs go up to 24! But for optimal health, you want it under 8—and under 5 is even better. If you’re dealing with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, stubborn weight, or fatigue, this test is a must. 👉 Ask your provider to add fasting insulin to your labs. It’s a powerful tool to understand what’s happening under the hood to have a bigger picture of your metabolic health. #FastingInsulin #InsulinResistance #Type2Diabetes #Prediabetes #MetabolicHealth #BloodSugarSupport #FunctionalMedicine #HealthTips #ReverseDiabetes #PreventDiabetes
