Angela is joined by Dr Morgan Nolte, a geriatric physical therapist, to explore the critical topic of insulin resistance and its widespread impact on health.

Dr Nolte shares her journey from traditional physical therapy to focusing on disease prevention, emphasising the importance of understanding insulin's role in blood sugar regulation. She also delves into the differences between insulin resistance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, highlighting the often-overlooked significance of fasting insulin levels

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Insulin Resistance Basics: Insulin regulates blood sugar, but chronic high levels lead to resistance, increasing risks of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other chronic conditions.
• Early Warning Signs: Indicators like high blood pressure, skin tags, fatigue, and cravings may hint at underlying insulin resistance even before blood sugar levels rise.
• Lifestyle is Key: Adopting a low-carb, high-protein diet, engaging in strength training, walking post-meals, and managing stress and sleep can reverse insulin resistance.
• Testing Matters: Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR are better indicators of insulin resistance than traditional glucose and HbA1c tests.
