Insulin resistance and prediabetes in Gilbert, AZ

Insulin resistance often develops years before blood sugar looks abnormal. Finding it early gives you the most room to change course.

Understanding insulin resistance and prediabetes

Insulin moves sugar from the blood into your cells. When cells stop responding well, the body makes more insulin to compensate.

Over time this can lead to weight gain around the middle, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Standard checkups do not always test for it. We measure it directly and explain what your numbers mean.

Common signs

Many people have no symptoms at all. These are common clues.

  • Weight gain around the middle
