[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2013583, member: 323454"] [USER=501623]@Cocosilk[/USER] -- Thanks for starting this thread. Fascinating discussion. I agree with [USER=85197]@zand[/USER]. For many of us, insulin resistance probably precedes the diagnosis of diabetes by many years if not decades. Personally, judging from my then round bellie, I was probably insulin resistant for at least 15 years before diagnosis -- but not any of the HCPs I've seen during this time ever remarked on this or did any furher testing. Possibly, considerably elevated trigs might be a sign of increasing insulin resistance (in addition to the tendency to belly fat). Ted Naiman (a low carb doc based in Seatle) suggests that the triglyceride-glucose index could be used to estimate insulin resistance in lieu of measuring insulin itself. Here is a link if anyone is interested [URL]https://burnfatnotsugar.com/TyGIndexCalculator.html[/URL] So, even if our blood sugars are still normal, but our trigs go up, this might indicate worsening insulin resistance.
