I’m 58 and a low carb guy for years. My recent labs calculate my homa-ir at .68. Love your channel! Keep fighting the good fight!!

Never knew about this and thanks for the information. I am not a diabetic now but when I was told I am likely to get diabetes and given medication to improve my insulin levels, I asked for a test to measure insulin levels and I was shocked when the Dr said no one does it and symptoms suggested that my insulin levels were low. I did insist and got a insulin test and my levels were just fine. Fortunately an alternative medical Dr asked me to improve my metabolism rather than trying to increase insulin levels. Thank you Dr and can confirm from my personal experience that diabetes is REVERSIBLE

Insulin resistance is at the root all metobolic dysfunction. Hyperinsulinemia and Insulin resistance always go hand in hand. You must control your carb intake

When I first heard another doctor on youtube saying about how common Insulin Resistance is, I remember thinking "I'm glad I'm not one of those poor folks with Insulin Resistance." Wow, I was clueless. Now dealing with it.

The book brain energy details how schizophrenia can be put into remission when insulin resistance of the brain is reversed.

I have TD1 and get bloodwork every 3 months or so. I've never heard of this test, but I will check my blood results. If not done, will make sure I get it. Going in about 6 weeks. Thank you so much!

I asked my doctor for a HOMA-IR test and she yelled at me.
Needless to say, I never went back.

Imagine if the public health regulatory agencies actually cared this much about our actual health and wellbeing instead of profits for corporations and the billionaires that ultimately own the corps and our politicians.
Drs. like Dhand, Berg, Syed, Osborne, Merik, Campbell, etc. are the ethical roadmap for how our public health should be run. Instead, they are run by corporate revolving door toadies. So sad.

A great presentation. I have educated myself because of Doctors like you and three others from US that have the same view about type 2 diabetes. I forced my GP to include Fasting Insulin Serum test for last three 6 monthly tests and my last test had a fasting glucose of 7.8 mmol/L and an insulin level of 2.7 mU/L. I also had an HbA1C of 6.5. Based on the above my HOMA-IR is 7.8x2.7/22.5 = 0.94, which shows I am insulin sensitive
I was on Diabetes medication for almost 20 years and I decided not to take medication, changed my life style, eat a Keto Diet with OMAD. I do not take any medications.
My GP says and insists I take medication because my fasting glucose is way above the 5.8 and my HbA1c is greater than 5.8. I am 65 years old and since the day I changed my entire life style, never has any diseases for last 5 years.
I see how ignorant my GP and many other GP's of my friends.
In simple terms, I might consider myself as a borderline diabetes case, but insulin sensitive. I have told my GP, I will not take any medication for diabetes.
Also just for the record, I don't take any medication at all and have had good health for last 5 years since I changed my diet, lifestyle and exercise regimes.

@6:00 the important rule about junk food: "Anything that isn't part of a cow goes in the bin". (i.e. the burger is the healthiest part! 🙂

Benjamin Bikman wrote about this in his book Why We Get Sick. He mentions "glucose is the typical blood marker we use to diagnose and monitor diabetes, but we really should be paying attention to insulin levels first." Anyone, it appears, can have insulin resistance with normal blood glucose levels so the confounding variable would be insulin.

It's amazing how most Dr's have no clue what this test is. The last few Dr's said they didn't know about it and it wouldn't be covered by insurance. Ridiculous

Excellent, Dr. Dhand. Thank you. My wife and I just learned about the Homa-IR 10 days ago while studying our panel results. My Homa-IR is .522. Hers is 2.064. Although we never eat junk food, we are setting a new eating course that will help her normalize her glucose sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes. You are right on target, as usual.

I find PCPs generally "Reactionary" that is they are happy to hear your problem and prescribe a medication most of the time. I wish my PCP would have talked about diet when my fasting BS/A1c labs started going up. Instead I was told I was IR and given Ozempic. When I complained it would cost me $10K a year we finally agreeded on Metformin/Jardiance which Medicare mostly covered. Eventually I found some great YouTube vids [like yours] that helped me understand that diet and exercise was most helpful in controlling BS and A1c. Had a struggle to get my PCP to order a Fasting Insullin test, which was 2.7, so my HOMA-IR is 0.6. Medicare now provides CGMs for free so I can experiment with diet, exercise and medication. Thanks for the HOMA-IR tip, hadn't heard of it before now.

I ordered my own blood test and my results for HOMA-IR are 2.3. I am insulin sensitive! I have heard of it for over 15 years, but I never had a problem with weight until my mid 40s and into my 50s and always exercised and aware of my food. But food in the US is horrible and underlying stress is out of control. I made many changes in the last year and will add now a special diet to lower my insulin sensitive condition. Thanks for all your insights!!

There is a channel on YouTube about a person with schizophrenia trying keto.

So far she's been able to reduce her meds considerably
