I am being evaluated for insulin resistance due to difficulty losing weight. My HDL was out of range at only 35, and my SHBG was 17 which was right on the borderline. My A1C was 5.6 (prediabetic at 5.7), my fasting insulin was 18.3 (18.4 considered high by Quest). My fasting glucose was 96. Vitamin D was 27. I'm still waiting on the result for my proinsulin and leptin levels to come back. To me, this looks like early insulin resistance, but I feel crazy that things are just SO CLOSE to the cutoff. I got a myo-inositol supplement to try but am waiting to hear back from my doctor. What are your guys' thoughts?
