The Numbers That Could Save You From Type 2 Diabetes

Most people focus on blood sugar.
But by the time it spikes, the damage is already in motion.

Want a head start?
👉 Track your fasting insulin.
It rises years before glucose or A1C go up.

✅ A1C: under 5.5%
✅ Fasting Glucose: under 90 mg/dL
✅ Fasting Insulin: 2–6 uIU/mL (this one matters most)

Fasting insulin is rarely tested — insurance often doesn’t cover it, and most doctors don’t check it unless asked.

But if you want to catch insulin resistance early, this is your window.
It’s the warning light before the crash.

It doesn’t have to end in diabetes. You can reverse insulin resistance — and stop Type 2 diabetes before it starts.

How?
✅ Smart movement
✅ Balanced blood sugar
✅ Real food

⭐You don’t need perfection. You need a plan.

Sound familiar?

These are often the first signs of insulin resistance:
👉You’re tired after eating
👉You need sugar or coffee to focus
👉You gain weight around the belly
👉You feel off but labs are “normal”

🚨These are warning lights on the dashboard. Pay attention before diabetes sets in.

😳 1 in 3 Americans Has Insulin Resistance (Most Don’t Know It).

You don’t have to be overweight.
You don’t have to feel sick.
You might already have insulin resistance — and not know it.

Catch it early.
Reverse it naturally.
Know your biomarkers.

Insulin’s job is to move sugar from your blood into your cells.

👉But with insulin resistance, your cells stop responding.

👉So your body makes even more insulin to keep up.

👉This leads to blood sugar problems, cravings, belly fat… and eventually Type 2 Diabetes.

🚨 Insulin Resistance is a Precursor to Type 2 Diabetes

It doesn’t happen overnight. Insulin resistance builds slowly — often for 10–15 years — before it becomes Type 2 Diabetes.

Most people don’t feel it coming.

But once blood sugar rises, damage is already done.

👉 Know the signs. Take action early.

Here’s the truth:

👉 Pain often isn’t just from the joint.
It can come from your nervous system, hormones, or even gut inflammation.

If you’re not recovering like you used to, it’s not because you’re getting old.
It’s because your body is out of balance.

💡 Tip: Track your sleep for 3 nights and see how it relates to your pain level. You might be surprised.
