Insulin Resistance and Weight History
Online intake — Additional evaluation may be required
Insulin resistance describes a reduced cellular response to insulin. Weight or appearance alone does not establish this diagnosis.
Overview
A clinical review considers diabetes history, family history, medicines, symptoms, and relevant laboratory records. Fasting glucose and A1C measure aspects of blood glucose; they are not interchangeable with a complete assessment of insulin resistance.
Common Questions
Should I order tests before an intake?
Bring existing results with dates and laboratory reference ranges. The clinician determines whether additional testing is indicated. Do not diagnose insulin resistance from symptoms or an isolated result.
