Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guzzler" data-source="post: 2013446" data-attributes="member: 408573">Ben Bikman is one of the best.  There is no easy, cheap, quick way to measure Insulin Resistance, if there were it would go a long way in warning people that they should address their diet in terms of risk.  There are no symptoms of early IR, whereas raised bg levels are the first signs of problems (with or without symptoms) but can be the last to manifest.It must be said here that IR is normal in certain circumstances and that there people who show low level IR but do not go on to develope Pre Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes.   Another test that I feel would be of benefit is one that could show early signs of hyperinsulinaemia.  Hyperinsulinaemia and IR is sort of a 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?' question.If you are interested, Catherine Croft has a few interesting presentations on IR on YouTube.</blockquote>
