Insulin and Fasting Insulin: The Test Most Doctors Don't Order
Let me tell you about insulin. It's a hormone produced by your body that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Without getting too deep into the weeds, high blood sugar means your body isn't processing glucose properly, which can lead to some pretty nasty health problems like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Now let me tell you about fasting insulin. It's another hormone produced by your body that tells your cells how much glucose they should absorb from your bloodstream. High fasting insulin levels are a strong indicator of insulin resistance, which can also lead to type 2 diabetes and heart disease if left unchecked.
Here's the thing: most doctors don't order fasting insulin tests for their patients. It's not that they don't care about your health or that they're trying to keep you in the dark. It's just that there are so many tests out there, and it can be hard to know which ones are really going to help you understand what's happening inside your body.
