WE DIVE INTO the topic of Insulin Resistance (IR). WE GO DEEP with Perth based General Practitioner Dr Ashwini Gana Baskaran.  Ashwini OPENS UP about her approach to managing this very common condition.

What is insulin resistance (IR)?

How common is it?

More common in women or men?

How do you test for it? 

Who is at risk of it?

What are symptoms of high blood glucose levels? 

What are the symptoms of low blood glucose levels? 

What are the complications of IR ? 

How can IR be reversed? Role of diet, lifestyle, medications and supplements.

Are there any particular diets that are better than others for managing IR?

What are some good books or websites on topic of IR?

Self-monitoring. Should we all own a home blood glucose monitor, even if we don’t have IR or pre-diabetes / diabetes as the ultimate prophylaxis against developing diabetes?

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. Does she recommend them?
